Translation of a couplet

[Syed Arbish Ali Shah]

اس شعر کا لفظ بہ لفظ صحیح ترجمہ کیا ہے کیوں کہ اس کے بہت سے مختلف تراجم ملتے ہیں۔
بحقِ روزِ وصالِ دلبر کہ داد مارا غریب خسرو
سپیت منکے ورائے راکھوں جو جاؤں پاؤں

the translation is

I will keep my white pearls safe till the day I find my beloved's home"
The first line is in Persian and second in Braj bhasha. This was written by Amir Khusro in 13th century. :-)

As I've said in my response to the enquirer, the word is not "Ghariib" but "fareb". Here is a translation from

In hopes for the day of union, with my trickster lover, Khusrau
I will keep myself prepared, ready to go to his abode
