جهان چار سو اندر بر من
English title: The world with four sides I have in arm-pit,
جهان چار سو اندر بر منهوای لامکان اندر سر من
The world with four sides I have in arm‐pit, I have wrapped in this head the heavens’ wit.
چاروں اطراف والا جہان میرے پہلو میں سما گیا ہے اب میرے سر میں لامکاں کی آرزو پیدا ہو گئی ہے ۔
چو بگذشتم ازین بام بلندیچو گرد افتاد پرواز از پر من
Then I had to leave that topmost height, Like dust my wing’s lost that higher flight.
جب میں اس بلند مقام (لامکان) سے گزر گیا تو میرے پروں سے پرواز کی طاقت گرد کی طرح جھڑ گئی (گویا ساری کائنات میرے اندر سما گئی ) ۔
