از ہمہ کس کنارہ گیر صحبت آشنا طلب

English title: Far, far from every other go

Translations
از ہمہ کس کنارہ گیر صحبت آشنا طلبہم ز خدا خودی طلب ہم ز خودی خدا طلب
از خلش کرشمہ ئی کار نمی شود تمامعقل و دل و نگاہ را جلوہ جدا جدا طلب
عشق بسر کشیدن است شیشہ کائنات راجام جہان نما مجو دست جہان گشا طلب
راھروان برہنہ پا راہ تمام خار زارتا بہ مقام خود رسی راحلہ از رضا طلب
چون بکمال میرسد فقر دلیل خسروی استمسند کیقباد را در تہ بوریا طلب
پیش نگر کہ زندگی راہ بعالمیاز سر آنچہ بود و رفت در گذر انتہا طلب
ضربت روزگار اگر نالہ چو نی دہد تو رابادۂ من ز کف بنہ چارہ ز مومیا طلب
