بہ ضرب تیشہ بشکن بیستون راکہ فرصت اندک و گردون دو رنگ است
With battle axe smite the Bistoon Mountain, The time is short trust on sky too in vain.
حکیمان را درین اندیشہ بگذارشرر از تیشہ خیزد یا ز سنگ است
Leave the wise men thus in their headaches own, Did the spark raised from the axe or from stone?
