ز جان بیقرار آتش گشادم
ز جان بیقرار آتش گشادمدلی در سینۂ مشرق نھادمگل او شعلہ زار از نالۂ منچو برق اندر نہاد او فتادم
English translation
Out of my restless spirit the flames start, in the East’s bosom I have stirred a heart.
Its clay is set afire by my lament, like lightning to its inmost soul I dart.
Translated by M. Hadi Husain
