عرب را حق دلیل کاروان کرد
English title: The Truth chose Arab for caravan’s lead,
عرب را حق دلیل کاروان کردکہ او با فقر خود را امتحان کرد
The Truth chose Arab for caravan’s lead, On faqr since he tested his own self’s breed.
عرب لوگوں کو اللہ نے قافلے کی رہنمائی کرنے والا بنایا ہے ۔ کیونکہ اس نے اپنا احتساب (آزمائش) فقر کے ذریعے کیا ہے ۔
اگر فقر تہی دستان غیور استجہانے را تہ و بالا توان کرد
If the poor’s content with envy is green, His growth can upset the whole world’s scene.
اگر بے سروسامان لوگوں میں غیرت والا فقر پیدا ہو جائے تو اس سے ایک جہان کو تہ و بالا کیا جا سکتا ہے ۔
