گذر از آنکہ ندیدست و جز خبر ندہد

English title: Leave him who never won to sight

Translations
گذر از آنکہ ندیدست و جز خبر ندہدسخن دراز کند لذت نظر ندہد
شنیدہ ام سخن شاعر و فقیہ و حکیماگرچہ نخل بلند است برگ و بر ندہد
تجلئی کہ برو پیر دیر می نازدہزار شب دہد و تاب یک سحر ندہد
ہم از خدا گلہ دارم کہ بر زبان نرسدمتاع دل برد و یوسفی بہ بر ندہد
نہ در حرم نہ بہ بتخانہ یابم آن ساقیکہ شعلہ شعلہ ببخشد شرر شرر ندہد
