ميري نوائے شوق سے شور حريم ذات ميں
English title: A blaze is raging near His Throne, By my strains that burn like flames
ميري نوائے شوق سے شور حريم ذات ميںغلغلہ ہائے الاماں بت کدئہ صفات ميں
My cries of longing stir the sanctuary of His Being. Even the temple of His attributes echoes with cries for mercy.
حور و فرشتہ ہيں اسير ميرے تخيلات ميںميري نگاہ سے خلل تيري تجليات ميں
Even angels and heavenly maidens are captured by my imagination. My daring vision unsettles the ways You reveal Yourself.
گرچہ ہے ميري جستجو دير و حرم کي نقش بندميري فغاں سے رستخيز کعبہ و سومنات ميں
Though my search is drawn on the canvas of temples and mosques, my cries can shake both the Kaaba and Somnath.
گاہ مري نگاہ تيز چير گئي دل وجودگاہ الجھ کے رہ گئي ميرے توہمات ميں
Sometimes my sharp gaze pierces the heart of existence. At other times it gets trapped in my own doubts.
تو نے يہ کيا غضب کيا، مجھ کو بھي فاش کر ديا!ميں ہي تو اک راز تھا سينہء کائنات ميں
What a wonder You have done—You revealed me as well. I was the one hidden secret in the heart of the universe!
