ہاں، آشنائے لب ہو نہ راز کہن کہیںپھر چھڑ نہ جائے قصہ دار و رسن کہیں

English translation

I am afraid the old secret may come up to my lips again: Lest story of suffering on the Cross may come up again.*
* This alludes to the crucifixion and also refers to the willingness of Ibrahim (A.S.) in obedience to the Command of God. The allusion can be extended to innumerable other persons who have sacrificed their lives in the cause of God in various ways just for His Love.)

Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
