سحر با ناقہ گفتم نرم تر رو
English title: That dawn I asked naqah not to run quick,
سحر با ناقہ گفتم نرم تر روکہ راکب خستہ و بیمار و پیر است
That dawn I asked naqah not to run quick, Its rider is feeble, too old and sick.
صبح کے وقت میں نے اونٹنی سے کہا کہ آہستگی سے چل کیونکہ تیرا سوار کمزور ، بیمار اور بوڑھا ہے ۔
قدم مستانہ زد چندان کہ گوئیبپایش ریگ این صحرا حریر است
In a dancing prance move but she runs more, That sand to her feet is a silky floor.
میں نے اسے جتنا کہا اس نے اس کے خلاف مستی بھرے قدم اٹھائے جیسے اس کے پاؤں اس صحرا کی ریت پر نہیں ریشمی کپڑے پر ہوں ۔
