(Armaghan-e-Hijaz-18) Na Kar Zikr -e-Firaq-o-Ashnayi ( نہ کر ذکر و فراق آشنائی) Of love and losing what words need be said?

Na Kar Zikr-E-Firaq-O-Ashanai

Ke Asal-E-Zindagi Hai Khud-Numai

Of love and losing what words need be said?

The self’s unfolding is Life’s fountain‐head;

Na Darya Ka Zayan Hai, Ne Guhar Ka

Dil-E-Darya Se Gohar Ki Judai

There’s neither loss to ocean nor to pearl

In the pearl’s loosening from the ocean’s bed.
