حرفی چند با امت عربیہ

عقل و دل را مستی از یک جام میاختلاط ذکر و فکر روم و ری

English translation

Reason and heart intoxicated with one cup of wine, a mixture of dhikr and fikr of Rum and Rayy.
(Rum stands for Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi who represents love and Rayy is the name of a city which is now situated in the suburbs of Tehran, the birthplace of Fakhruddin Razi, the great theologian, Qur’an-commentator and philosopher. He stands for reason here.)

Translated by Bashir Ahmad Dar

Urdu translation

ایک جام مے سے عقل و دل دونوں کو سرمست کر دینا، روم و رے کے ذکر و فکر کا اختلاط۔
