رومي
English title: RUMI
غلط نگر ہے تري چشم نيم باز اب تکترا وجود ترے واسطے ہے راز اب تک
Your half-shut eyes still fail to see what subtle fact this life may be.
ترا نياز نہيں آشنائے ناز اب تککہ ہے قيام سے خالي تري نماز اب تک
Too meek to have a fondling will, devoid of Qiam your worship still.
گسستہ تار ہے تيري خودي کا ساز اب تک!کہ تو ہے نغمہ رومي سے بے نياز اب تک
For songs of Rumi you haven't ears sharp, shaped the strings of your Self's harp.
