ز من گو صوفیان با صفا را
English title: Convey this to those seekers after God
ز من گو صوفیان با صفا راخدا جویان معنی آشنا را
From me, tell the Sufis pure of heart —
Those seekers of God and truth’s fine art.
میری طرف سے صوفیان با صفا سے کہو —
وہ جو اللہ تعالیٰ کے متلاشی اور حقیقت آشنا ہیں۔
غلام ہمت آن خود پرستمکہ با نور خودی بیند خدا را
I bow to the self-revering, brave and free —
Who with their own Khudi, God’s face do see.
میں ایسے خود پرست کی ہمت کو خراج تحسین پیش کرتا ہوں —
جو اپنی خودی کے نور سے اللہ تعالیٰ کو دیکھتا ہے۔
