نہ من انجام و نے آغاز جویم
نہ من انجام و نے آغاز جویمہمہ رازم جھان راز جویمگر از روی حقیقت پردہ گیرندھمان بوک و مگر را باز جویم
English translation
I do not seek the beginning or the end; I am full of mystery and seek the realm of mysteries.
Even if the face of truth were unveiled, I would still seek the same ‘perhaps’ and ‘maybe’.
Translated by M. Hadi Husain
