مجنوں نے شہر چھوڑا تو صحرا بھی چھوڑ دےنظارے کی ہوس ہو تو لیلی بھی چھوڑ دے

English translation

Majnun abandoned habitation, you should abandon wilderness also; if there be ambition for Sight, you should abandon Lailah also.
(Majn’on gave up living in human habitations and started roaming about in the wilderness. The Lover of God is advised to abandon wilderness also. This is so because it is immaterial for a Lover of God whether he lives in habitations or in the wilderness as God is independent of space and time and is omni-present. The Lover will find Him anywhere and everywhere provided his Love is selfless and sincere.)
