تلاش رزق

پریدن از سر بامی بہ بامینبخشد جرہ بازان را مقامیز نخچیری کہ جز مشت پری نیستہمان بہتر کہ میری درکنامی

If the hawks too fly for roof to roof race*; amongst the birds of prey they find no place.
For a hunt of few wings and a bit flesh; it is better to die in aerey’s mesh.
* It is below one’s dignity to knock door to door for help.

نگر خود را بچشم محرمانہنگاہ ماست ما را تازیانہتلاش رزق از ن دادند ما راکہ باشد پر گشودن را بھانہ

A hawk said to another hawk as follows: See thy own self with a seeing eye; this eye is a whip for us to fly;
This eye is a lash for a hunting dash; an excuse for wings to pounce in a flash.
