فراغت دے اسے کار جہاں سے
English title: Set him free of this world’s affairs
فراغت دے اسے کار جہاں سےکہ چھوٹے ہر نفس کے امتحاں سے
Set him free of this world’s affairs | To be free of casting for everyone snares.
ہوا پيري سے شيطاں کہنہ انديش!گناہ تازہ تر لائے کہاں سے
In old age, Satan’s thoughts too are old | Wherefrom should he bring new sins’ flares?
