مثال لالہ و گل شعلہ از زمین رویداگر بخاک گلستان تراود از جامش

Flames would spring up, just as rose and tulip do, from the garden’s soil, if you poured a drop or two on it from his cup, always on the boil.

England’s chilly climate did not suit his spirit. His heart’s message’s great ardour set aflame love’s messenger.

خیال او چہ پریخانہ ئی بنا کرد استشباب غش کند از جلوہ لب بامش

گذاشت طایر معنی نشیمن خود راکہ سازگار تر افتاد حلقۂ دامش

But his genius, that high-soaring bird, left its nest to fall into a snare, which it preferred to soaring in the air.
