بوی گل
گردید موج نکہت و از شاخ گل دمیدپا اینچنین بہ عالم فردا و دی نہاد
English translation
Changing herself to a breath of fragrance, she appeared in a rose’s form; and in this way she took up residence where day and night are the norm.
Translated by M. Hadi Husain
Urdu translation
پھر وہ خوشبو کی موج میں تبدیل ہو کر شاخ گل سے پھوٹی ، اس طرح اس نے اس کل اور آج کی دنیا میں پاؤں رکھا۔
