بہ سواد دیدۂ تو نظر آفریدہ ام من
English title: I HAVE imparted insight to the pupil of your eye
Published Urdu translations cover some, but not all, Persian verses in this poem.
بہ سواد دیدۂ تو نظر آفریدہ ام منبہ ضمیر تو جھانی دگر آفریدہ ام من
I HAVE imparted insight to the pupil of your eye, | And created a new world in your self;
میں نے تیری آنکھوں میں نظر پیدا کی ہے، میں نے تیرے ضمیر کے اندر نیا جہان تخلیق کیا ہے۔
ہمہ خاوران بخوابی کہ نہان ز چشم انجمبہ سرود زندگانی سحر آفریدہ ام من
All the East is asleep; hidden from the eyes of the stars, | I have created morning by the melody of life.
