در اسرار شریعت
نیست این کار فقیہان اے پسربا نگاہے دیگری او را نگر
English translation
It is not for the jurists to evaluate it, O son, look at it in another way;
(Looking in another way in contrast to the legal and formalistic attitude of the jurist, it is the penetrative insight born of spiritual regeneration which, though based on reason, goes beyond reason and is the essence of what Rumi and Iqbal call Faqr.)
Translated by Jamil Naqvi
Urdu translation
بیٹے ! شرع کا معاملہ فقیہوں کے بس کی بات نہیں ؛ تو شرع کو دوسری نگاہ سے دیکھ۔
