qissa parhez-gar-o-shaitan

kahūñ ek nasīhat ajab ḳhūb-tar

pahle pand suno jiiv kī kaan dhar

bure kuuñ pahle pand suuñ kyā ḳhabar

gadhā kyā būjhe za.afrān kī qadar

jo koī mard-e-dil-e-pāk aḳhlāq hai

so is paak bātāñ kā mushtāq hai

jo koī ḳhuub pārakh meñ purkār hai

so is gauharāñ kā ḳharīdār hai

jo koī asal gauhar meñ kuch ḳhuub haiñ

use pand gauhar te ap-rūp hai

duniyā kā jitā maal aur gauhar

balā duur is pand dil par

yo bin mol gauhar ke jis naañv pand

tuje muft detā huuñ rakh jiv jatan

tū nādir hunar suuñ karegā agar

phatthar kuuñ sonā hor sone kuuñ phatthar

kahun ek nasihat ajab KHub-tar

pahle pand suno jiw ki kan dhar

bure kun pahle pand sun kya KHabar

gadha kya bujhe zafran ki qadar

jo koi mard-e-dil-e-pak aKHlaq hai

so is pak baatan ka mushtaq hai

jo koi KHub parakh mein purkar hai

so is gauharan ka KHaridar hai

jo koi asal gauhar mein kuch KHub hain

use pand gauhar te ap-rup hai

duniya ka jita mal aur gauhar

bala dur is pand dil par

yo bin mol gauhar ke jis nanw pand

tuje muft deta hun rakh jiw jatan

tu nadir hunar sun karega agar

phatthar kun sona hor sone kun phatthar
