A version from the Urdu
Astute connoisseurs of letters claim
this alone in my favor
it's useless to seek within meaning's frame
whence flows my poem's flavor
========
Based on this:
Connoisseurs of literature / say only this in my favour:
The beauty of his verse / is not in its meaning.
--Shahryar, trans. Baider Bakht & Marie-Anne Erki
