مریدی خود شناسی پختہ کاری
English title: A well read disciple asked his guide,
مریدی خود شناسی پختہ کاریبہ پیری گفت حرف نیش داری
A well read disciple asked his guide, With a word in which a sting did hide.
ایک مرید جو خودشناس اور پختہ کار تھا (پیر کی اندھی تقلید نہیں کرتا تھا) پیر سے ایک سخت چبھنے والی بات کہی ۔
بمرگ ناتمامی جان سپردنگرفتن روزی از خاک مزاری
To die for a life will it well behave? To make one’s living from bones of a grave.
نامکمل جان کو موت کے حوالے کرتا ہے اس کے لیے جو کسی مزار کی مٹی سے روزی حاصل کرتا ہے ۔
