ز جانم نغمہء ’’اللہ ہو‘‘ ریختچو کرد از رخت ہستی چار سو ریخت
The song Allah is He issued forth from my soul, and spread all around, like dirt from my life’s apparel;
بگیر از دست من سازی کہ تارشز سوز زخمہ چون اشکم فرو ریخت
hold the instrument from my hands, for its strings have dropped down, like my tear, by the burning of the plectrum.
