پیام فاروق

بہ روی عقل و دل بگشای ہر دربگیر از پیر ہر میخانہ ساغردران کوش از نیاز سینہ پرورکہ دامن پاک داری ستین تر

English translation

For sense and heart’s sake leave each door ajar’ take a cup thus from every sect’s bar.
Make all the efforts with love and heart pure; to lead a chaste life with no greed and lure *

* It has been taken from a verse of Amir Khisro, known as Nightingale of India (Tooti-e-Hind).) Although he was a minister in the court of the king yet he passed his whole life in the company of great disciples and favourite of Hazrat Nizam-ud-Din Aulia of Delhi whose annual anniversary is still celebrated with all the pomp and show by the Congress Government of India under the State patronage; the Prime Minister and President of India make their presence at his tomb.

Translated by Q.A. Kabir

Urdu translation

عقل و دل کے سامنے ہے دروازہ کھول دے؛ ہر میخانے کے پیر سے ساغر لے۔مگر اس نیازمندی کی بدولت جو دل کی تربیت کرتی ہے؛ کوشش کر کہ تیرا دامن (گناہوں سے) پاک اور تیری آستین آنسوؤں سے تر رہے،
