سحر با ناقہ گفتم نرم تر رو

سحر با ناقہ گفتم نرم تر روکہ راکب خستہ و بیمار و پیر استقدم مستانہ زد چندان کہ گوئیبپایش ریگ این صحرا حریر است

That dawn I asked naqah not to run quick, its rider is feeble, too old and sick.
In a dancing prance move but she runs more, that sand to her feet is a silky floor.
To her desert sand is a silky way. This is why she likes to run fast. That soil of Yasrib and Mecca is also dear to her!

مہار اے ساربان او را نشایدکہ جان او چو جان ما بصیر استمن از موج خرامش می شناسمچو من اندر طلسم دل اسیر است

She needs no reins O I teamster hence! Like my own wits she has the same sense.
From its wavelike trot a plea I would form, like me she is captive of heart’s own charm (she likes to reach quick to the Prophet’s place).

نم اشک است در چشم سیاہشدلم سوزد ز آہ صبحگاہشہمان می کو ضمیرم را برافروختپیاپی ریزد از موج نگاہش

Yet tears moist vivid in jet black eyes, my heart thus burns from his morning sighs.
That burnt my conscience was the sole wine, flowing with his gaze like wavelets fine.
