While dealing with friends and mates, He is dew that thirst of tulip slakes: When engaged with his foes in fight, Like torrent strong makes rivers shake.

The charm of Natureʹs eternal song In Muslimʹs life, no doubt is found: Like chapter Rahman of the Quran, Is full of sweet melodious sound.

Such thoughts that shine like lustrous stars My brain, like workshop, can provide: You can select the star you like, So that your Fate this star may guide!
