Urfi

The imagination of ‘Urfi has created a mansion Which has became the envy of Sina and Farabi

On the subject of Love he wrote such music By which red tears are still available to eyes

One day my heart made this complaint at his grave “Tunes of restlessness no longer come from world’s assembly

The disposition of the world’s people has changed so much That such condition of restlessness has gone from the world

The midnight wailing of the poet is offensive to the ear When assembly’s eye be unaware of pleasure of sleeplessness

How can somebody’s flame of lament remove darkness? When the morning’s light is unwelcome for nightly worshipers”

Call came from grave “Reduce complaint against world’s people ‘Strike the tune harder if the taste for music has become low Sing the hudi faster if the camel’s litter has became heavy’
