عقل و دل
علم کی انتہا ہے بے تابیاس مرض کی مگر دوا ہوں میں
English translation
Restlessness is the end of Knowledge*, but the remedy for that malady I am.
* Knowledge does not lead to the comprehension of the Essence of God. It only confuses the seeker between the different explanations offered by different scholars. On the other hand the heart guides one to the final goal.)
Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
