بہ چشم او نہ نور و نی سرور است
English title: His eyes are void of a glamour and glee,
بہ چشم او نہ نور و نی سرور استنہ دل در سینۂ او ناصبور است
His eyes are void of a glamour and glee, No restive heart in his bosom I see.
اس کی آنکھ میں نہ نور ہے اور نہ سرور ۔ اور نہ ہی اس کے سینے میں بے قرار (عاشق ) دل ہے ۔
خدا آن امتے را یار باداکہ مرگ او ز جان بی حضور است
God be a friend of the unlucky race, Who vanished from scene being out of His grace.
خدا ہی اس امت کا مددگار رہے کیونکہ اس کی موت بے حضور زندگی سے ہے ۔ یعنی مسلمان کی زندگی کا زوال اللہ کے بے حضوری کی وجہ سے ہے ۔
