شمع اک شعلہ ہے لیکن تو سراپا نور ہےآہ! اس محفل میں یہ عریاں ہے تو مستور ہے

English translation

The candle is but a flame, you are the Light embodied.Ah! In this assembly that is manifest, you are concealed.*
* Allusion to the manifest glow of the candle in the transparent mantle of glass and the veiled Light of God in the opaque earthen mantle of human body.)

Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
