طلوع اسلام
ربود آں ترک شیرازی دل تبریز و کابل راصبا کرتی ہے بوئے گل سے اپنا ہم سفر پیدا
English translation
The beloved of Shiraz has won the hearts of Tabriz and Kabul! The zephyr produces its fellow traveler from rose’ fragrance!
(Turk-i Shirazi: This refers to Shaikh Musleh al-Din Sa`di Shirazi. His poetry is very popular among all Muslims including Afghans, which is a sign of the attachment of Muslims to their heritage.)
