English title: The juice that maketh tulips spring

Translations
از آن آبی کہ در من لالہ کارد ساتگینی دہکف خاک مرا ساقی بباد فرودینی دہ
ز مینائی کہ خوردم در فرنگ اندیشہ تاریکستسفر ورزیدۂ خود را نگاہ راہ بینی دہ
چو خس از موج ہر بادی کہ می آید ز جا رفتمدل من از گمانہا در خروش آمد یقینی دہ
بجانم آرزوہا بود و نابود شرر داردشبم را کوکبی از آرزوی دل نشینی دہ
بدستم خامہ ئی دادی کہ نقش خسروی بنددرقم کش این چنینم کردہ ئی لوح جبینی دہ
