چمک تارے سے مانگی، چاند سے داغ جگر مانگااڑائی تیرگی تھوڑی سی شب کی زلف برہم سے

English translation

He procured brightness from the star, spot from the moon.* He stole a little darkness from the night’s uncombed hair.
The moon’s spots are poetically considered to be created by the Moon’s Love for God, as a lover’s heart develops scars from the anguish of his love for his beloved.

Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
