دل بی قید من در پیچ و تابیست
English title: My heart not prisoned is writhing with pain,
دل بی قید من در پیچ و تابیستنصیب من عتابی یا خطابیست
My heart, free from all bonds, is restless to know: which is my fate—wrath or pleasurable encounter?
میرا آزاد دل بے چینی اور بے قراری کی حالت میں ہے ۔ اسے نہیں معلوم کہ میری قسمت میں سزا ہے یا جزا ۔
دل ابلیس ھم نتوانم آزردگناہ گاہگاہ من صوابیست
I can’t injure Iblis’s feelings even, my wayward sin is therefore a virtue.
میں تو شیطان کے دل کو بھی تکلیف نہیں دے سکتا ۔ میرا کبھی کبھار کا گناہ بھی درست ہے ۔
