چہ شور است این کہ در آب و گل افتادز یک دل عشق را صد مشکل افتاد
What commotion has taken hold of this water and clay? One heart has put ‘ishq into a hundred difficulties.
یہ کیا شور ہے جو پانی اور مٹی یعنی جسم انسانی میں برپا ہے، ایک دل سے عشق کو سو مصیبتوں کا سامنا ہے ۔
قرار یک نفس بر من حرام استبمن رحمی کہ کارم با دل افتاد
