حرم از دیر گیرد رنگ و بوئی
English title: From fane gets Harem its grandeur and glare,
حرم از دیر گیرد رنگ و بوئیبت ما پیرک ژولیدہ موئی
From fane gets Harem its grandeur and glare, My ‘idol’ is a ‘pir’with curly hair.
کعبہ (اسلام) مندر سے خوبصورتی حاصل کر رہا ہے ۔ ہمارا بت بکھرے ہوئے بالوں والا مذہبی اور روحانی پیشوا ہے ۔ یعنی ہمارے امام کے ظاہر و باطن میں بھی فرق ہے ۔
نیابی در بر ما تیرہ بختاندلی روشن ز نور آرزوئی
None ill‐starred came in my bosom’s frame, Being lit up with light of his hopeful flame.
ہم بری قسمت والوں کے پہلو میں آرزو کے نور سے روشن دل نہیں ملیں گے ۔
