گائے اک روز ہوئی اونٹ سے یوں گرم سخن
گائے اک روز ہوئی اونٹ سے یوں گرم سخننہیں اک حال پہ دنیا میں کسی شے کو قرار
English translation
The cow one day started saying to the camel: Nothing in the world rests in one condition.
(One angle to look at these verses is that camel and cow represent Muslims and Hindus inhabiting the Indian Subcontinent)
