عرب کہ باز دہد محفل شبانہ کجاست

English title: Where is the Arab, to revive

Translations
عرب کہ باز دہد محفل شبانہ کجاستعجم کہ زندہ کند رود عاشقانہ کجاست
بزیر خرقۂ پیران سبوہا چہ خالی استفغان کہ کس نشناسد می جوانہ کجاست
درین چمنکدہ ہر کس نشیمنی سازدکسی کہ سازد و وا سوزد آشیانہ کجاست
ہزار قافلہ بیگانہ وار دید و گذشتدلے کہ دید بہ انداز محرمانہ کجاست
چو موج خیز و بہ یم جاودانہ می آویزکرانہ می طلبی ؟ بی خبر کرانہ کجاست
بیا کہ در رگ تاک تو خون تازہ دویددگر مگوی کہ آن بادۂ مغانہ کجاست
بیک نورد فرو پیچ روزگاران راز دیر و زود گذشتی دگر زمانہ کجاست
