جنھیں میں ڈھونڈتا تھا آسمانوں میں زمینوں میں
کسی ایسے شرر سے پھونک اپنے خرمن دل کوکہ خورشید قیامت بھی ہو تیرے خوشہ چینوں میں
English translation
Burn the produce of your heart with some such spark that the Last Day’s sun may also be among your gleaners.
(The sun of the Last Day is proverbial for its torturing heat. However, the power of the true Love of God is such that even that sun will come down to collect flowers from the Lover’s heap.)
Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
