برون از ورطۂ بود و عدم شو
English title: From being and non-being’s whirlpool free
برون از ورطۂ بود و عدم شوفزونتر زین جہان کیف و کم شو
Step out of the whirlpool of being and non-being —
Rise above the less and more of this world.
ہونے اور نہ ہونے کے بھنور سے نکل جا ، کیسے اور کتنے کی اس دنیا سے بلند ہو جا ۔
خودی تعمیر کن در پیکر خویشچو ابراہیم معمار حرم شو
Build your Khudi within your own body —
Become an architect of the Haram like Abraham (A.S)
اپنے بدن میں خودی کی تعمیر کر ۔ ابراہیم کی مانند کعبے کا معمار بن جا ۔
