شب این انجمن آراستم من
English title: Knows not the Gabriel this hue and cry,
شب این انجمن آراستم منچو مہ از گردش خود کاستم من
I set up this assembly at night, I diminished through self‐revolution like the moon;
میں نے اس دنیا کی محفل کی رات کو سجایا ہے ۔ میں چاند کی طرح اپنی گردش میں گم ہو گیا ہوں ۔
حکایت از تغافلہای تو رفتولیکن از میان برخاستم من
there was talk of your carelessness, but I left the meeting.
تیری اپنے بندوں سے غفلت برتنے کی باتیں ہوئیں لیکن میں درمیان سے اٹھ آیا ۔
