صنوبر بندۂ آزادۂ او
English title: His freed slave is the proud, upstanding fir
صنوبر بندۂ آزادۂ اوفروغ روی گل از بادۂ او
The cypress, a free-willed slave to the Divine —
The flower's glow, from His wine's ecstatic shine.
صنوبر اس (ذات) کا آزاد کیا ہوا ایک غلا م ہے (کیونکہ اس پر دوسرے پودوں کی طرح خزاں کے اثرات نہیں ہوتے اسی لیے شاعروں نے صنوبر کو آزاد کہا ہے ۔ )پھول کے چہرے کی چمک دمک اس کی شراب (کی مستی) کی وجہ سے ہے ۔
حریمش آفتاب و ماہ و انجمدل آدم در نگشادۂ او
His realm holds the sun, moon, and stars in view —
Yet the human heart is a closed gate, His essence to pursue.
سورج اور چاند اور ستارے اس کا گھر (سب اس کے مظاہر ہیں ) ۔ آدمی کا دل اس کا ان کھلا دروازہ سربستہ ران ہے ۔
