نہان در سینۂ ما عالمی ہست
نہان در سینۂ ما عالمی ہستبخاک ما دلی در دل غمی ہستاز آن صہبا کہ جان ما بر افروختہنوز اندر سبوی ما نمی ہست
English translation
There is a world concealed within my breast, heart in my dust, by passion’s grief possest.
And of the Wine that first lit up the soul one drop within my pitcher yet doth rest.
Translated by A.J. Arberry
