در فن تعمیر مردان آزاد
عشق مردان سر خود را گفتہ استسنگ را با نوک مژگان سفتہ است
English translation
The secret of True Love has been expressed (through their works); as if stone slabs have been laced (arranged) with the help of eyelashes.
Urdu translation
(اس عمارت کے ذریعے ) عشق مرداں نے اپنا بھید کہا ہے، (گویا ) پتھروں کو پلکوں کی نوک سے پرو دیا ہے ۔
