بے جرات رندانہ ہر عشق ہے روباہي

English title: Without a toper's courage

Translations
بے جرات رندانہ ہر عشق ہے روباہيبازو ہے قوي جس کا ، وہ عشق يداللہي
جو سختي منزل کو سامان سفر سمجھےاے وائے تن آساني ! ناپيد ہے وہ راہي
!وحشت نہ سمجھ اس کو اے مردک ميدانيکہسار کي خلوت ہے تعليم خود آگاہي
دنيا ہے رواياتي ، عقبي ہے مناجاتي!در باز دو عالم را ، اين است شہنشاہي
