چه پرسی از مقامات نوایم
English title: You ask the spots where I played my jazz there,
چه پرسی از مقامات نوایمندیمان کم شناسند از کجایم
You ask the spots where I played my jazz there, My friends know little I came up from where.
میری شاعری کے مقامات کے بارے میں کیا پوچھ گچھ کرتا ہے ۔ میرے دوست نہیں پہچانتے کہ میں کہاں سے ہوں
گشادم رخت خود را اندرین دشتکه اندر خلوتش تنها سرایم
I opened my baggage in desert’s heat, Where I am singing in his lone retreat.
میں نے اپنے مال و اسباب کو صحرا میں کھول دیا تاکہ میں اس کی تنہائی میں اکیلا ہی گیت گاتا رہوں ۔
