سحرگاہان کہ روشن شد در و دشت
English title: When all the desert sides were bright from dawn,
سحرگاہان کہ روشن شد در و دشتصدا زد مرغی از شاخ نخیلی
When all the desert sides were bright from dawn, From tree a bird tuned to a youth in lawn.
صبح کے وقت جب رستے اور صحرا روشن ہو گئے تو کھجور کی شاخ پر بیٹھے ہوئے ایک مرغ نے آواز بلند کی ۔
فروھل خیمہ ای فرزند صحراکہ نتوان زیست بی ذوق رحیلی
O desert’s son! leave thy tent with haste, You lead a dull life which lacks journey taste.
اے صحرا کے رہنے والے شخص خیمہ چھوڑ دے کیونکہ سفر کا لطف لیے بغیر زندگی گزاری نہیں جا سکتی ۔
