رخصت اے بزم جہاں

ہم نشین نرگس شہلا، رفیق گل ہوں میںہے چمن میرا وطن، ہمسایہء بلبل ہوں میں

English translation

Associate of Nargis-i-Shahlah, and rose's companion I am; the garden is my homeland, nightingale's associate I am.
(Nargis-i-Shahlah: The narcissus which is reddish-blue instead of white or yellow. Nargis-i-Shahlah is invaluable on account of being very rare.)

Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
