Published Urdu translations cover some, but not all, Persian verses in this poem.
بگیر از ساغرش ن لالہ رنگیکہ تاثیرش دہد لعلی بہ سنگی
Whose alchemy turns stone to a radiant ruby.
جس کی تاثیر پتھر کو لعل میں بدل دیتی ہے۔
غزالی را دل شیری ببخشدبشوید داغ از پشت پلنگی
That which turns the deer into a lion-heart —
And washes the stains from the leopard's back.
جو ہرن کو شیردل بنا دیتی ہے —
اور چیتے کی پشت سے داغ دھو ڈالتی ہے ۔
