یہ مہر ہے بے مہری صیاد کا پردہآئی نہ مرے کام مری تازہ صفیریرکھنے لگا مرجھائے ہوئے پھول قفس میںشاید کہ اسیروں کو گوارا ہو اسیری

English translation

This outward show of love so great is guise to hide the hunter's hate: New songs for rescue that I sang against their stone deaf ears didn't I bang.
Began to place in jail-like cage, such blossoms that had dried with age in mind he had this idea wrong that prey might 'stay in cage for long.

Translated by Syed Akbar Ali Shah
