حدی
لکہ ابر روانکشتی بی بادبانمثل خضر راہ دانبر تو سبک ہر گرانلخت دل ساربانتیزترک گام زن منزل ما دور نیست
English translation
Like the clouds a constant roamer; sailless boat with sand for river; born path-knower like a Khizr, carrier who does not murmur, darling of the camel-driver! Quicken your pace just a little; journey’s end is not far off.
Translated by M. Hadi Husain
