مسلمان از خودی مرد تمام است
English title: From self a Muslim is man perfect
مسلمان از خودی مرد تمام استبخاکش تا خودی میرد غلام است
From self a Muslim is man perfect He is slave when it dies in heart in fact.
خودی کی وجہ سے مسلمان ایک مکمل مرد ہے ۔ جب اس کی مٹی سے خود ی مر جاتی ہے تو غلام بن جاتا ہے ، مراد نفس کا غلام بن جاتا ہے ۔
اگر خود را متاع خویش دانینگہ را جز بخود بستن حرام است
If you take thy ‘self’, ‘a priceless’ lot, To look save Thee is a tabood thought.
اگر تو خود کو سرمایہ جانتا، سمجھتا ہے تو اپنے سوا کسی دوسرے پر نظر رکھنا حرام ہے ۔
