ہر اک ذرے ميں ہے شايد مکيں دل
English title: A restless heart throb, in every atom
ہر اک ذرے ميں ہے شايد مکيں دلاسي جلوت ميں ہے خلوت نشيں دل
اسير دوش و فردا ہے و ليکنغلام گردش دوراں نہيں دل
A restless heart throbs in every atom; it has its abode, alone, in a multitude. Impaled upon the wheel of days and nights, it remains unchained by the tyranny of time.
