دیباچه
خیال من به تماشای آسمان بود استبدوش ماه و به آغوش کهکشان بود است
My vision encompasses the heavens; at times it sits on shoulders of moon and at times in the lap of milkay way.
میرا تخیّل آسمانوں کے نظارے کرتا ہے، (کبھی) چاند کے کندھے پر (سوار) اور (کبھی) کہکشاں کی گود میں ہوتا ہے۔
گمان مبر که همین خاکدان نشیمن ماستکه هر ستاره جهان است یا جهان بود است
Think not that only this earth is our abode; each star is or has benn our abode.
آیسا مت سوچ کہ یہی زمین ہمارا نشیمن ہے، ہر ستارہ ہمارا جہان ہے یا رہ چکا ہے۔
