خوش آن راهی که سامانی نگیرد
خوش آن راهی که سامانی نگیرددل او پند یاران کم پذیرد
Happy the wayfarer who carries no provisions and listens less to friends’ advice.
وہ مسافر خوش قسمت یا کامیاب ہے جو کوئی سامان نہیں رکھتا ۔ دنیاوی دلفریبیوں سے دل نہیں لگاتا ۔ اس کا دل دوستوں کی نصیحت کم مانتا ہے ۔
به آهی سوزناکش سینه بکشایز یک آهش غم صدساله میرد
Open thy breast to his soul‐burning sigh, for his one sigh kills a hundred‐year‐old grief.
اس کی پرسوز آہ سے سینے کو کھول دے کہ اس کی ایک آہ سے سو سال کا غم مر جاتا ہے ۔
