چند بروی خودکشی پردۂ صبح و شام را

English title: How long the veil of eve and dawn

Translations
چند بروی خودکشی پردۂ صبح و شام راچہرہ گشا تمام کن جلوۂ ناتمام را
سوز و گداز حالتی است بادہ ز من طلب کنیپیش تو گر بیان کنم مستی این مقام را
من بسرود زندگی آتش او فزودہ امتو نم شبنمی بدہ لالۂ تشنہ کام را
عقل ورق ورق بگشت عشق بہ نکتہ ئی رسیدطایر زیرکے برد دانۂ زیر دام را
نغمہ کجا و من کجا ساز سخن بہانہ ایستسوی قطار می کشم ناقۂ بی زمام را
وقت برہنہ گفتن است من بہ کنایہ گفتہ امخود تو بگو کجا برم ھم نفسان خام را
