رعب فغفوری ہو دنیا میں کہ شان قیصریٹل نہیں سکتی غنیم موت کی یورش کبھی

English translation

Be it the grandeur of Qaisar or Faghfur’s sway; the foe of death’s assault cannot be turned away.
(Faghfur and Qaisar: They are the titles of the emperors of China and the Roman Empire respectively. These two empires and their rulers were emblems of power, authority and grandeur, and they still represent these attribute in Urdu and Persian literature.)
