Default عقل عيار ہے ، سو بھيس بنا ليتي ہے

تازہ پھر دانش حاضر نے کيا سحر قديم
گزر اس عہد ميں ممکن نہيں بے چوب کليم

عقل عيار ہے ، سو بھيس بنا ليتي ہے
عشق بے چارہ نہ ملا ہے نہ زاہد نہ حکيم!

عيش منزل ہے غريبان محبت پہ حرام
سب مسافر ہيں ، بظاہر نظر آتے ہيں مقيم

ہے گراں سير غم راحلہ و زاد سے تو
کوہ و دريا سے گزر سکتے ہيں مانند نسيم

مرد درويش کا سرمايہ ہے آزادي و مرگ
ہے کسي اور کي خاطر يہ نصاب زر و سيم



Translation


Reason has devised again the magic of ancient days;
What the magic needs, is a new Moses’ wand.

The intellect, in its cunning. assumes a thousand shapes;
But love, a simpleton, is not a mullah, nor is wise.

Travellers on the path of love should deny themselves a goal;
We are all travellers, but seem to have a home.

Grieve not about thy equipment in travel,
Mountains and rivers can be crossed like a breeze.

The dervish’s asset is freedom on his death;
This silver and gold ‘nisab’ is not the law for him.
