dar bagh chu bud ghura-e-tursh awwal di
dar baaġh chu bud ġhūra-e-tursh avval dī
shīrīñ za che gasht-o-talkH chuuñ āmdamī
az chob ba-tesha gar kase kard rabāb
az besha che goī ki hamī rūyadanī
In the garden the green unripe grape in the month of Dai is sour, how on ripening does it taste sweet and how does it become bitter when it turns into wine; if someone made a Lyre (which produces music) which thou sayest is against the Shariat, what wilt thou say of the forest which produces the reed from which the flute is made?
dar bagh chu bud ghura-e-tursh awwal di
shirin za che gasht-o-talkH chun aamdami
az chob ba-tesha gar kase kard rabab
az besha che goi ki hami ruyadani
In the garden the green unripe grape in the month of Dai is sour, how on ripening does it taste sweet and how does it become bitter when it turns into wine; if someone made a Lyre (which produces music) which thou sayest is against the Shariat, what wilt thou say of the forest which produces the reed from which the flute is made?
