قطعہ - کل اپنے مريدوں سے کہا پير مغاں نے
English title: The mentor exhorted his. disciples once
کل اپنے مريدوں سے کہا پير مغاں نےقيمت ميں يہ معني ہے درناب سے دہ چند
زہراب ہے اس قوم کے حق ميں مےء افرنگجس قوم کے بچے نہيں خوددار و ہنرمند
The mentor exhorted his disciples once: Listen to my words, in value greater than gold: The Western wine is poison for the people, when the offspring knows neither pride nor skill.
