چو موج مست خودی باش و سر بطوفان کش

English title: Drunk with self hood like a wave

Translations
چو موج مست خودی باش و سر بطوفان کشترا کہ گفت کہ بنشین و پا بدامان کش
بقصد صید پلنگ از چمن سرا برخیزبکوہ رخت گشا خیمہ در بیابان کش
بہ مہر و ماہ کمند گلو فشار اندازستارہ ر از فلک گیر و در گریبان کش
گرفتم اینکہ شراب خودی بسی تلخ استبدرد خویش نگر زہر ما بدرمان کش
