Tasadduq Jis Pe Hairat Khana-e-Seena-o-Farabi
The imagination of ‘Urfi has created a mansion
Which has became the envy of Sina and Farabi
Muyassar Jis Se Hain Ankhon Ko Ab Tak Ashak-e-Unabi
On the subject of Love he wrote such music
By which red tears are still available to eyes
Nahin Hungama-e-Alam Mein Ab Saman-e-Betabi
One day my heart made this complaint at his grave
“Tunes of restlessness no longer come from world’s assembly
Ke Rukhsat Ho Gyi Dunya Se Kaifiat Woh Seemabi
The disposition of the world’s people has changed so much
That such condition of restlessness has gone from the world
Na Ho Jab Chashm-e-Mehfil Ashnaye Lutf-e-Be-Khawabi
The midnight wailing of the poet is offensive to the ear
When assembly’s eye be unaware of pleasure of sleeplessness
Garan Hai Shab Par Sutoon Par Sehar Ki Asman Tabi
How can somebody’s flame of lament remove darkness?
When the morning’s light is unwelcome for nightly worshipers
Nawa Ra Talakh Tar Mee Zan Chu Zauq-e-Naghma Kmyabi
Call came from grave “Reduce complaint against world’s people
‘Strike the tune harder if the taste for music has become low
Sing the hudi faster if the camel’s litter has became heavy’
