دل ما بیدلان بردند و رفتند
English title: They held the loveless is heart and went away,
دل ما بیدلان بردند و رفتندمثال شعلہ افسردند و رفتند
They enraptured our hearts and departed, They congealed like a flame and disappeared.
ہمارے دل کو عاشق لے گئے اور چلے گئے ۔ وہ شعلے کی طرح بجھ گئے اور اس دنیا سے چلے گئے ۔
بیا یک لحظہ با عامان درآمیزکہ خاصان بادہ ہا خوردند و رفتند
Come, mix for a while with common people, for the elect took wine and disappeared.
آ، ایک لمحے کے لیے اپنے عام بندوں سے ملاقات کر (گھل مل) کہ تیرے خاص بندوں نے شرابیں پیں اور چلے گئے (تیرے خاص بندے تو شراب پی کر اس دنیا سے رخصت ہو گئے) ۔
