شمع اور شاعر
اب تلک شاہد ہے جس پر کوہ فاراں کا سکوتاے تغافل پیشہ! تجھ کو یاد وہ پیماں بھی ہے ؟
English translation
O indolent One! Do you remember that covenant also on which Mount Faran till now is a silent witness?
(Mount Faran: It is the peak of the mountain on which the cave of Hira is located and where the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) used to retire for prayer and meditation and where he got his first Message through Jibril)
Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
