ز سوز این فقیر رہ نشینی
English title: From this poor man’s flame, sitting on his way
ز سوز این فقیر رہ نشینیبدہ او را ضمیر آتشینی
From this poor man’s flame, sitting on his way Bid him fiery conscience, the least I say.
راستے میں بیٹھنے والے اس فقیر کے سوز سے اس کو آگ کی سی حرارت والا ضمیر دے ۔
دلش را روشن و پایندہ گردانز امیدی کہ زاید از یقینی
Kindle his heart for a-long-lasting light, From man’s hopes his hopes be more bright.
اس کے دل کو روشنی اور ہمیشہ کی زندگی عطا کر ۔ اس امید سے جو اس میں یقین سے پیدا ہوتی ہے ۔
