)
گل گفت که عیش نو بهاری خوشتریک صبح چمن ز روزگاری خوشتر
Sweet is the time of Spring, the red Rose cried; sweeter an hour here than an age outside;
پھول نے کہا کہ نو بہار کا عیش کیا خوب ہے؛ چمن کی ایک صبح ساری دنیا سے بہتر ہے۔
زان پیش که کس ترا بدستار زندمردن بکنار شاخساری خوشتر
Before some lover plucks you for his cap, sweetest to die in this green garden’s lap.
پیشتر اس کے کہ کوئی تجھے اپنی دستار میں آویزاں کر لے؛ شاخسار پر مر جانا ہی بہتر ہے۔
