dar rah-e-KHirad ba-juz KHirad ra ma-pasand
dar rāh-e-ḳhirad ba-juz ḳhirad rā ma-pasand
chuuñ hast rafīq-e-nek bad rā ma-pasand
ḳhvāhī ki hama jahāñ turā ba-pasandad
mī baash ba-ḳhush-dilī-o-ḳhud rā ma-pasand
In thy path of wisdom, do not like except wisdom, and if thou hast a virtuous friend do not incline towards one who is bad; and if thou desirest that thou shouldst be liked by all men of the world, be kind hearted and be devoid of self love.
dar rah-e-KHirad ba-juz KHirad ra ma-pasand
chun hast rafiq-e-nek bad ra ma-pasand
KHwahi ki hama jahan tura ba-pasandad
mi bash ba-KHush-dili-o-KHud ra ma-pasand
In thy path of wisdom, do not like except wisdom, and if thou hast a virtuous friend do not incline towards one who is bad; and if thou desirest that thou shouldst be liked by all men of the world, be kind hearted and be devoid of self love.
