(By the way) Where is Mehar himself? Where are the bells ringing the abode of the friend? Where is the yonder bank? It is a pity that I had to struggle (without guidance) in water all my life for his union.
کسی ندانست کہ منزل مقصود کجاست
این قدر ہست کہ بانگ جرس می آید
(Hafiz)
None knows the exact location of the goal. Meanwhile we hear the sound of the bell only.
ای عقل چہ می گوئی ای عشق چہ فرمائی
(Iqbal)
O intelligence! What do you say? o love! What is your version about it?

Where is Mehar? Where do the bells tinkle?
Where is my love's fire lit? Where is the other bank,
For which whole life in water I do wriggle ?

Where is Mehar, where are the bells ringing?
Where is the friend's fire burning, where is the other bank?
It is for him that I tussled with water all my life.
