- ايڪُ پِيالو ٻَہ ڄَڻا، عِشقُ نَہ ڪَري اِيئَن،
لِکِئا جٖي لِکڻَ ۾، قُرِبَ رَسَندا ڪِيئَن،
ھُئَڻَ ڪِئا ھِيئَن، وانجِئا پَسُ وِصالَ کان.- 2012 translation by Amena Khamisani
- One cup! Two to drink! Love prohibits it,
Can the calculating ones come close to love?
Engrossed in their own being union to them cannot come.
