عشق کی گرمی سے ہے معرکہء کائناتعلم مقام صفات، عشق تماشائے ذاتعشق سکون و ثبات، عشق حیات و مماتعلم ہے پیدا سوال، عشق ہے پنہاں جواب
English translation
The universe is moved by the warmth of Love; knowledge deals with the Attributes, Love is a vision of the Essence; Love is peace and permanence, Love is Life and Death: Knowledge is the rising question, Love is the hidden answer.
Translated by Syed Akbar Ali Shah
