ترک عثمانی

بہ ملک خویش عثمانی امیر استدلش گاہ و چشم او بصیر استنپنداری کہ رست از بند افرنگہنوز اندر طلسم او اسیر است

In the Ottoman reign, the Turks are free; he holds conscious heart, with insight to see.
On freedom of the West they do not boast; they are captives yet of his Charming toast.

خنک مردان کہ سحر او شکستندبہ پیمان فرنگی دل نبستندمشو نومید و با خود شنا باشکہ مردان پیش ازین بودند و ہستند

How daring were they who broke his charms; who paid no heed to his pledges warm.
Get not despaired, have thy ego’s own view; what did the past nations you also do.

بہ ترکان رزوئے تازہ دادندبنای کار شان دیگر نہادندولیکن کو مسلمانی کہ بیندنقاب از روی تقدیری گشادند

The fate thus gave to Turks a verve anew; and gave them a base for a build up new.
Where are those Muslim who could behold? The meanings of fate which God had told.*
* It means when the Turks decided to keep their freedom at any cost, God came to their help. In this quatrain the poet wants to say that the nations make their own destinies.
