قطعہ - فطرت مري مانند نسيم سحري ہے
English title: # title missing
فطرت مري مانند نسيم سحري ہےرفتار ہے ميري کبھي آہستہ ، کبھي تيز
پہناتا ہوں اطلس کي قبا لالہ و گل کوکرتا ہوں سر خار کو سوزن کي طرح تيز
My nature is like the fresh breeze of morn: Gentle sometimes, at other times strong; I give a velvet mantle to flower petals, and to prickly thorns, the sharpness of the needle.
