ترے عشق کی انتہا چاہتا ہوں
ترے عشق کی انتہا چاہتا ہوںمری سادگی دیکھ کیا چاہتا ہوں
English translation
Completion of your Love is what I desire. Look at my sincerity what little I desire.
(Both the veiling of the Beloved, represented here by torture, and the unveiling are tests of the patience and perseverance of the Lover.)
Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
