Know thou well this world its state, what is, is; what is not, is not:
Whether Rake or Devotee, what is, is, etc.
Whether much or little thine, count it all as passed away;
Be thou of the Prophet's nature, for what is, is, etc.
If for life thou grievest, what cause if thyself thou knowest;
Alive to thy grave thou goest, what is, is, etc.
Of sea and land the Monarch thou, if wet and dry alike thou countest;
Be thou then the Monarch of the age, for what is, is, etc.
Whether pearls or jewels, whether flowers or trees,
Take no account of all, for what is, is, etc.
Ill thy wishes, bad thy actions, causeless grief and envy thine;
In patience be thou wealthy, for what is, is, etc.
Weep thou not, nor yet rejoice; leave alike both grief and joy;
Be acquainted with this secret, what is, is, etc.
Alas! what though it collects, with no one does it here remain:
Of gold and silver be thou free, for what is, is, etc.
Of thy loved one seek for kindness, an thou find it not, then weep:
Do thou as thy loved one wills thee, for what is, is, etc.
Whether Union or Separation, to me they both are all alike:
Be thou at ease as thou art, for what is, is, etc.
Why dost thou strive and struggle, and day and night art full of concern?
Be thou the same whatever betide, for what is, is, etc.
Short is life, and many its troubles; why so anxious in your heart?
Be thou satisfied with wet or dry, for what is, is, etc.
Consider thou thy special talent, while alive make good use of it,
O Khush-hal! a Lion be thou, for what is, is, etc.
