On Eid



‏عیدگاہِ ما غریباں کوئے تو
‏ایں بہ ساعت عید، دیدن روئے تو

Your street is Eid-gaah for us poors 
The glimpse of your face is the moment of Eid 

 - Amir Khusrau


عیدگاه ما غریبا‌ں کوئے تو
ایں بہ ساعت عید، دیدن روئے تو 

کعبۂ من، قبلۂ من روئے تو
سجدہ گاہ عاشقاں ابروئے تو 

صد ہزارا‌ٓں عید قربانت کنم 
اے ہلالِ ما، خم ابروئے تو 

دست بکشا جانب زنبیل ما 
آفریں بر ہمت بازوئے تو 

یا نظام الدین محبوبِ خدا 
جملہ محبوبان غلام روئے تو

(کلام حضرت امیر خسرو)
