صوفي سے
English title: THE MYSTIC
تري نگاہ ميں ہے معجزات کي دنيامري نگاہ ميں ہے حادثات کي دنيا
تخيلات کي دنيا غريب ہے، ليکنغريب تر ہے حيات و ممات کي دنيا
عجب نہيں کہ بدل دے اسے نگاہ تريبلا رہي ہے تجھے ممکنات کي دنيا
Your eyes are fixed on miracles that amaze, but world of events strange attracts my gaze. No doubt, the world of thought is strange and queer, but world of Life and Death more odd appear. A call to you is sent by World of Chance; perhaps you may transmute it with your glance.
