گہی جویندۂ حسن غریبےخطیبی منبر او از صلیبیگہی سلطان با خیل و سپاہیولی از دولت خود بے نصیبی

English translation

To that rare beauty my heart seeks again, to speaker* whose pulpit was ‘cross’ and slain.
To the King* often with lancers and force, to wealth who never touched at any course.
* Speaker: Refers to Mansoor Hallaj. TheKing: Sultan Noor-ud-Din Zangi. Sultan N D Zangi raised his banner for Jehad and fought vigorously for 28 years during his reign, from 541 A.H. to 569 A.H. He was victorious in every battle he fought. He ammassed no wealth except the dust of his face during fighting which he had collected in a hand-kerchief. He left a will that when he will be lowered in grave that dust should be rubbed at his face. His will was fulfilled in like manner.)

Urdu translation

کبھی یہ حسن یکتا کا طلبگار ہوتا ہے، کبھی ایسا خطیب ، صلیب جس کا منبر ہو۔کبھی صاحب لاؤ لشکر سلطان ، لیکن اپنی دولت سے کنارہ کش۔
