یکی اندازہ کن سود و زیان را
English title: So calculate once all the losses and gains,
یکی اندازہ کن سود و زیان راچو جنت جاودانی کن جہان را
Just for once weigh up gain against loss: Make this world eternal like paradise.
ایک مرتبہ نفع اور نقصان کا اندازہ کر، اس جہان کو جنت کی طرح ہمیشہ کی زندگی عطا کر ۔
نمی بینی کہ ما خاکی نہادانچہ خوش آراستیم این خاکدان را
Can You not see all that we, creatures of dust, Have done to adorn this earth?
تو نے نہیں دیکھا کہ ہم مٹی کی آفرینش والوں نے اس دنیا کو کس خوبصورتی سے سجایا سنوارا ہے ۔
