بہ پہنای ازل پر می گشودم
English title: Winging Eternity’s uncharted space
بہ پہنای ازل پر می گشودمز بند آب و گل بیگانہ بودم
I spread my wings across eternity's vast expanse —
Freed from the bonds of water and clay's dance.
میں نے ازل کی وسعتوں میں اپنے پر کھولے —
میں آب و گل کے بندھن سے آزاد تھا۔
بچشم تو بہای من بلند استکہ آوردی ببازار وجودم
In your eyes, my worth was high, immense —
Thus, you brought me to existence's market, hence.
آپ کی نظر میں میری قیمت گراں تھی —
اسی لیے آپ مجھے بازار وجود میں لے آئے۔
