دل من روشن از سوز درون است
English title: My heart is lit up by an inner flame
دل من روشن از سوز درون استجہان بین چشم من از اشک خون است
Lit by an inner flame, my heart shines —
My eyes, weeping the tears of blood, discern the world's hidden truths and secrets.
میرا دل (سوز درون) باطن کی آنچ سے روشن ہے ۔ میری آنکھ خون کے آنسووَں کے باعث دنیا دیکھتی ہے یعنی رموز و اسرار جہان کو دیکھنے والی ہے ۔
ز رمز زندگے بیگانہ تر بادکسی کو عشق را گوید جنون است
May the person who dismisses love as folly —
Stay more deeply unaware of life’s profound secrets.
خدا کرے زندگی کے راز سے اور بھی بے خبر رہے وہ شخص جو عشق کو پاگل پن (جنون) کہتا ہے ۔ بنیادی تصور عشق زندگی کی حقیقت ہے ۔
