حدی
سوز تو اندر زمامساز تو اندر خرامبی خورش و تشنہ کامپا بہ سفر صبح و شامخستہ شوی از مقامتیزترک گام زن منزل ما دور نیست
English translation
In your rein is stimulation; travel is your inspiration; with a very scanty ration, you are night and day in motion, never resting at one station! Quicken your pace just a little; journey’s end is not far off.
Translated by M. Hadi Husain
