ضمیر ین فکان غیر از تو کس نیستنشان بی نشان غیر از تو کس نیست
You alone are the sign of the Unmarked Being's name.
صرف تو ہی اس بے نشاں (اللہ تعالیٰ ) کا نشان ہے۔
قدم بیباک تر نہ در رہ زیستبہ پہنای جہان غیر از تو کس نیست
Tread boldly on life's path, with fearless stride —
In the vast expanse of the world, none but you abide.
راہ حیات میں دلیرانہ قدم رکھ —
اس جہان کی وسعتوں میں تیرے سوائے اور کوئی نہیں۔
