علمی کہ تو آموزی مشتاق نگاہی نیست

English title: The fine science thou dost learn

Translations
علمی کہ تو آموزی مشتاق نگاہی نیستواماندۂ راہی ہست آوارۂ راہی نیست
آدم کہ ضمیر او نقش دو جہان ریزدبا لذت آہی ہست بی لذت آہی نیست
ہر چند کہ عشق او آوارۂ راہی کردداغی کہ جگر سوزد در سینۂ ماہی نیست
من چشم نہ بردارم از روی نگارینشآن مست تغافل را توفیق نگاہی نیست
اقبال قبا پوشد در کار جہان کوشددریاب کہ درویشی با دلق و کلاہی نیست
