    • c. 1689 – 1752, Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai, Shah Jo Risalo Kalyan.4.1:
      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.
