دعا

English title: Invocation

Translations
یارب درون سینہ دل با خبر بدہدر بادہ نشۂ را نگرم آن نظر بدہ
این بندہ را کہ با نفس دیگران نزیستیک آہ خانہ زاد مثال سحر بدہ
سیلم ، مرا بجوی تنک مایہ ئی مپیچجولانگہے بوادی و کوہ و کمر بدہ
سازی اگر حریف یم بیکران مرابااضطراب موج ، سکون گہر بدہ
شاہین من بصید پلنگان گذاشتیہمت بلند و چنگل ازین تیز تر بدہ
رفتم کہ طایران حرم را کنم شکارتیری کہ نافکندہ فتد کارگر بدہ
خاکم بہ نور نغمۂ داؤد بر فروزہر ذرہ مرا پر و بال شرر بدہ
