حکيمي ، نامسلماني خودي کي
English title: Selfhood's apostate is the life of reason
حکيمي ، نامسلماني خودي کيکليمي ، رمز پنہاني خودي کي
تجھے گر فقر و شاہي کا بتا دوں!غريبي ميں نگہباني خودي کي
Selfhood's apostate is the life of reason; its secret lies in communion with God. If thou couldst guard it in thy poverty, thou art indeed a faqir greater than kings.
