दामन वसीअ' था तो काहे को चश्म तरसा
रहमत ख़ुदा की तुझ को ऐ अब्र ज़ोर बरसा
If your skirt was wide, why did you yearn for the glass? / Oh cloud, pour down the strength of God's mercy upon you.
If your skirt (or hem) was wide, why did you yearn for the water vessel? Oh cloud, pour down the strength of God's mercy upon you.
