آزادی بحر
بطی می گفت بحر آزاد گردیدچنین فرمان ز دیوان خضر رفت
A duck said, ‘The lanes of the sea are now free! – The edict from the court of Khizr says so!’
ایک بطخ کہہ رہی تھی سمندر آزاد ہوگیا (ہمارے لیے بحر میں گھومنے پھرنے کی پوری آزادی ہو گئی ہے) ۔ خضر کے دربار سے یہ فرمان جاری ہو گیا ۔
نهنگی گفت رو هر جا که خواهیولی از ما نباید بی خبر رفت
A crocodile said, ‘Go anywhere you like, But never forget to watch out for us!’
ایک مگر مچھ بولا جہاں چاہے جا مگر ہم سے بے خبر نہیں رہنا چاہیے ۔
