No verified published Urdu translation is available for the Persian verses in this poem yet.
نگہ دارد برہمن کار خود رانمی گوید بہ کس اسرار خود را
A pundit keeps eyes on his own task, He wont let to know his secret mask.
بمن گوید کہ از تسبیح بگذربدوش خود برد زنار خود را
To me he says Give up counting beads, For his own neck feels holy thread’s need.
