اسيري

English title: IMPRISONMENT

Translations
ہے اسيري اعتبار افزا جو ہو فطرت بلندقطرئہ نيساں ہے زندان صدف سے ارجمند
مشک اذفر چيز کيا ہے ، اک لہو کي بوند ہےمشک بن جاتي ہے ہو کر نافہ آہو ميں بند
ہر کسي کي تربيت کرتي نہيں قدرت، مگرکم ہيں وہ طائر کہ ہيں دام وقفس سے بہرہ مند
شہپر زاغ و زغن در بند قيد و صيد نيست ''''ايں سعادت قسمت شہباز و شاہيں کردہ اند
