Don’t listen to woe of earth, wipe off sky’s tears

Extend thy hand to wipe off, heavy rain’s tears

Don’t listen to the gloomy stories now silently 

Go cheer up depressed and wipe off his tears

Though indecision is the norm of the day yet

Prove thy ability and wipe off saddened tears

If there’s no disparity amid body and shade

Make daylight doze and pacify shady gloom

Don’t be unwilling to listen to, talk pleasingly,

 Beautify poetry and lower fallacy of tone

How long to have sweet-talk with your friends

The skill is to wipe tears of foes than friends

The sky is endless so are the celestial stars

Overlook thy value; reduce the heaven’s plight

Alluring and attractive moral fiber seen around

Who asked you delight the damsels around? 

When gale is not enriching the soul’s feelings

Let alone thy self, ensure of others’ feelings

The confusion is all around the surroundings

Better to ask empathy and mercy from Allah

Being a mortal being better to sleep on floor

Relax on this spacious mud-spattered floor

Enjoy the festivity of wine and warmness

Sweep up away the fallacy of crimson wine

The happenings written on the divine book

Try to set right the mishaps from every page

O’ valued scholar! Smash thy arrogant ego

Subdue thy self-esteem to pacify deprived

Do dance bare-foot on blazing fire Anjum

Wear apparel of woe, to go through the trial
