کبھي دريا سے مثل موج ابھر کر
English title: Sometimes by rising from the ocean like a wave
کبھي دريا سے مثل موج ابھر کرکبھي دريا کے سينے ميں اتر کر
Sometimes by rising from the ocean like a wave, | Occasionally like a diver in its bosom behave.
کبھي دريا کے ساحل سے گزر کرمقام اپني خودي کا فاش تر کر
At times cross beyond the ocean’s shore | To expose better your self’s real enclave.
