aasuda dame za KHud-pasandi ma-talab
āsūda dame za ḳhud-pasandī ma-talab
ziiñ himmat past-e-kHud bulandī ma-talab
saudā-e-jahāñ suud na-dārad chandāñ
nuqsāñ ba-pazīr sūd-mandī ma-talab
Expect no peace and comfort from self-conceitedness.
Expect no high position from these mean efforts of yours.
This business of the world yields little of gain,
Be content with the loss and hope not for the profit.

zin himmat past-e-kHud bulandi ma-talab
sauda-e-jahan sud na-darad chandan
nuqsan ba-pazir sud-mandi ma-talab
Expect no peace and comfort from self-conceitedness.
Expect no high position from these mean efforts of yours.
This business of the world yields little of gain,
Be content with the loss and hope not for the profit.
