With apologies for the translation -- having personally lived in Persia (modern day Iran) between 1974 and 1979 -- one would venture to suggest that Hazrat Khusrau was saying:

I have become You and You have become me
I manifest as body, You are the spirit;
Let no one say after this [union],
that You are different and I am different!

The real name of Hazrat Amir Khusrau Dehlavi (1253-1325 AD) was Ab'ul Hasan Yamīn al-Dīn Khusrow (Persian: ابوالحسن یمین‌الدین خسرو, Devanagari: अबुल हसन यमीनुददीन ख़ुसरो). A Sufi mystic and a spiritual disciple of Nizamuddin Auliya of Delhi, Amir Khusrau was a legend within his lifetime.

Hazrat Amir Khusrau, a prolific classical poet associated with royal courts of more than seven rulers of the Delhi Sultanate, remains a household name in much of the Indian sub-continent, through hundreds of playful riddles, songs and legends attributed to him. Through his enormous literary output and the legendary folk personality, Khusrau represents one of the first (recorded) Indian personages with a true multi-cultural or pluralistic identity.

Amir Khusrau was a great representative of the Indo-Sufi culture. He was considered an expert at many subjects including spirituality, religion, sufism, jurisprudence, astronomy, astrology, metaphysics... and he held a great depth of knowledge of Sanskrit, Hindi, Persian, Turkish and Arabic. He has been termed as the "father of qawwali" (the devotional music of the Sufis). He is also credited with enriching the Hindustani classical music by introducing Persian and Arabic elements in it, and was the originator of the tarana style of music. The classical music tradition aross the Indian subcontinent traces its roots to the 13th-century poet and musician Amir Khusrau, who composed some of the earliest ragas, the traditional rhythmic form.

It is believed that during the early Moghul period, no one born was more educated than Hazrat Amir Khusrau! The invention of the Indian Tabla and significant contribution to the Sitar is usually attributed to him.

For those who are interested, the full version of this poem is as follows:

Ay chehra-e zeba-e tu rashk-e butan-e azari;
Har chand wasfat mikunam dar husn-az-aan zebatari.

Khusrau ghareeb ast-o gada uftadah dar shehr-e shuma;
Baashad ki az behr-e khuda, su-e ghareeban bangari!

Translated with apologies, it reads as follows:

O you whose beautiful face is the envy of the idols of Azar
(Abraham's father and famous idol maker);
You remain superior to my praise.

Khusrau, a beggar, a stranger has come wandering to your town;
For the sake of the Creator, have pity on this beggar
and do not turn him away from your door!
