حدی
نغمۂ من دلگشایزیر و بمش جانفرایقافلہ ہا را درایفتنہ ربا فتنہ زایاے بہ حرم چہرہ سایتیزترک گام زن منزل ما دور نیست
English translation
Lively is the song that I sing; lively, but full of foreboding – for the caravan a warning that the hour has struck for starting. Kisser of the Haram’s paving! Quicken your pace just a little; journey’s end is not far off.
Translated by M. Hadi Husain
