دل من رازدان جسم و جان است
English title: My heart knows soul and body’s mystery
دل من رازدان جسم و جان استنپنداری اجل بر من گران است
Think not I grieve to die: The riddle of body and soul I have read plain.
جسم و جان کا راز میرے دل کے اندر چھپا ہے —
مت سمجھ کہ میں موت سے خوفزدہ ہوں۔
چہ غم گر یک جہان گم شد ز چشممہنوز اندر ضمیرم صد جہان است
What care though one world vanish from mine eye, when hundreds in my consciousness remain?
اگر میری آنکھ سے ایک جہان گم ہوا تو کیا غم —
ابھی میرے ضمیر کے اندر سینکڑوں جہاں پنہاں ہیں۔
