نہان در سینۂ ما عالمی ہست
English title: There is a world concealed within our breasts
نہان در سینۂ ما عالمی ہستبخاک ما دلی در دل غمی ہست
There is a world concealed within my breast, heart in my dust, by passion’s grief possest.
ایک دنیا جہان ہمارے سینے میں چھپی ہوئی ہے ۔ ہماری مٹی میں ایک دل ہے اور دل کے اندر غم (غم عشق) ہے ۔
از آن صہبا کہ جان ما بر افروختہنوز اندر سبوی ما نمی ہست
And of the Wine that first lit up the soul one drop within my pitcher yet doth rest.
اس عشق نے ہماری روح میں آگ لگا دی اس شراب کی ایک بوند ابھی ہماری صراحی میں موجود ہے ۔
