To Sir Akbar Hyderi the Chief Minister of Hyderabad Deccan

It was God’s command that the pomp of Parviz Be given to the qalandar, for he has angelic attributes.

I was told: Take it and be an emperor; Confer permanence on the ephemeral with your talent.

I would have much honoured this trust— All bitterness tastes sweet to the mouth of a dervish.

However, the self-respect of faqr could not accept it When He said: this is the charity of my Godhead.
