حدی

ناقۂ سیار منآہوے تاتار مندرہم و دینار مناندک و بسیار مندولت بیدار منتیزترک گام زن منزل ما دور نیست

English translation

My fleet-footed dromedary, my doe of the Tartar country, O my riches, O my money, O my entire patrimony, O my fortune, O my plenty! Quicken your pace just a little; journey’s end is not far off.

Translated by M. Hadi Husain
