SHIKWA - EXPLANATION OF 3RD STANZA




تھی تو موجود ازل سے ہی تیری ذات قدیم
پھول تھا زیب چمن پر نہ پریشاں تھی شمیم
شرط انصاف ہے ائے صاحب الطاف عمیم
بوے گل پھیلتی کس طرح جو ہوتی نہ نسیم
ہم کو جمعیت خاطر یہ پریشانی تھی
ورنہ امت تیرے محبوب کی دیوانی تھی ؟


You have been present from the very beginning.
The flower was there in the garden, but the air was not bothered to spread its fragrance.
You are the one who is just and dispassionate in your decisions.
Tell us how the fragrance of flower would have spread had there been no air?
We were bothered for our own contentment
Else the nation of your beloved was fool?
