فوارہ
English title: FOUNTAIN
يہ آبجو کي رواني ، يہ ہمکناري خاکمري نگاہ ميں ناخوب ہے يہ نظارہ
ادھر نہ ديکھ ، ادھر ديکھ اے جوان عزيزبلند زور دروں سے ہوا ہے فوارہ
To own the flow of brook and meander on the earth in gaze of mine hasn't charm and can't endow with mirth. O dear young man, divert a bit aside your eye: The water of the fount by innate force surges high.
