The Sun, the Moon and Sphere all go astray,
Are vagrants who still straggle on the way.
Alexander fell on world like thunder clap,
But death soon caught him in its deadly trap.
King Nadir plundered Delhi's hoarded wealth,
Whereas his Chiefs put him to sword by stealth.
The Afghans and their hills e'en now remain.
Free heroes are Compelled by wont and need,
These change a lion bold to fox indeed.
When Faqr with Self gets free and frank,
Both you and I attain the regal rank.
That Darvesh can build up a nation's Fate
Who never tries to seek the royal gate.
