145 PART TWO بست آخر ہاں خدا کارت نہ تو یار کسے نہ کس یارت You will need Him ultimately and find, That there is none whom you can help, nor one who can help you. قدم خود بند بخوف اتم تا روی از جہاں بصدق قدم Take each step warily, So that you depart from this world in truth. تا خدا ات محب خود سازد نظر لطف بر تو اندازد So that God should become your Friend, And should look upon you kindly. باده نوشی عشق و زال باده مست باشی و بی خود افتاده So that you drink the wine of His love, And be totally inebriated with it. نیست ایں جائے گہ مقام مدام هوش کن تا نه بد شود انجام This world is not the place to live forever; Tread carefully, lest you come to a bad end. مہر آں زندہ نورت افزاید مہر ایں مردگان چه کار آید لقمه The love of the Living One will increase your light; What benefit can you derive from the love of the dead? و معده و سر و دستار سربسر هست بخشش دادار The food, the belly, the head, the crown, Are all God's gifts; حق باری شناس و شرم بدار پیش زاں کز جہاں بہ بندی بار Render to the Creator the rights that are due to Him, And show some remorse before you leave this world.
