مرا مثل نسیم آوارہ کردند
English title: Mine is to wander like the breeze of morn
مرا مثل نسیم آوارہ کردنددلم مانند گل صد پارہ کردند
I've been made to roam like the morning breeze —
My heart, like a flower, torn in countless pleas.
مجھے صبح کی تازہ ہوا کی مانند آزاد رو بنایا گیا ہے —
میرے دل کو پھول کی مانند سو ٹکڑے کیا گیا ہے۔
نگاہم را کہ پیدا ہم نبیندشہید لذت نظارہ کردند
Though my eyes cannot fully grasp the outward show —
They're blessed with visions of the truth's pure glow.
میری نگاہ جو ظاہر کو بھی پوری طرح نہیں دیکھ سکتی —
اسے حقیقت کے نظارے کے لطف سے سرفراز کیا گیا ہے۔
