درون سینۂ ما سوز آرزو ز کجاست؟سبو ز ماست ولی بادہ در سبو ز کجاست؟

Whence sprang the flaming fire. That is my soul’s desire?The cup indeed is mine— How came therein the wine?

گرفتم اینکہ جہان خاک و ما کف خاکیمبہ ذرہ ذرہ ما درد جستجو ز کجاست؟

This world I know is earth, And dust am I from birth;Why is my all possessed. By this tormenting quest?

نگاہ ما بہ گریبان کہکشان افتدجنون ما ز کجا شور ہای و ہو ز کجاست؟

The Milky Way mine eye. Doth grapple in the sky:This wild insanity, When was it born in me?
