دم عارف نسيم صبح دم ہے
English title: The mystic's soul is like the morning breeze
دم عارف نسيم صبح دم ہےاسي سے ريشہ معني ميں نم ہے
اگر کوئي شعيب آئے ميسرشباني سے کليمي دو قدم ہے
The mystic’s soul is like the morning breeze: It freshens and renews life’s inner meaning. An illumined soul can be a shepherd’s, who could hear the Voice of God at God’s command.
