درونم جلوۂ افکار این چیست؟
English title: What is this tumult of thought inside me?
درونم جلوۂ افکار این چیست؟برون من ہمہ اسرار این چیست
Inside me is such a play of ideas, what does this mean? —
Outside me are all these mysteries, what does this mean?
میرا اندرون افکار کی جلوہ گاہ ، یہ کیا؟ —
مجھ سے باہر راز ہی راز ، یہ کیا؟
بفرما ای حکیم نکتہ پردازبدن آسودہ ، جان سیار ، این چیست؟
Say, you who are wise and have a subtle mind: —
The body lies still, but the soul in flight – what does this mean?
میرا اے حاکم نکتہ بین ہمیں بتا —
بدن (دنیا میں) مقید اور روح (آسمانوں کی) سیر کرنے والی ، یہ کیا؟
