“Cleanse yourself before your (own) eyes,
Lest another cleanse you.
When you prosper, found your household,
Take a hearty wife, a son will be born you.
It is for the son you build a house,
When you make a place for yourself.
Make good your dwelling in the graveyard,
Make worthy your station in the West.
Given that death humbles us,
Given that life exalts us,
The house of death is for life.
Seek for yourself well-watered fields,
Choose for him, a plot among your fields,
Well-watered every year.
He profits you more than your own son,
Prefer him even to your [heir].

“،ذہن کو کچھ خاص یاد بھی نہیں
پر یادداشت کو یقین ہے
، کہ جو بیت چُکا ہمیشہ کے لِیے
وہی وقت سب سے حسین ہے۔
،موجودگی میں معمولی سا لگتا تھا
اب گُزر گیا تو شخصِیت عظیم ہے۔
، کوئ کمی بھی نہیں ہے ’آج‘ میں
یوں ہی بے وجہ دِل غمگین ہے۔
سمجھنے کی بات ہے زِندہ صِرف ’آج‘ ہے۔
بھلے زِندگی کل، آج، اور کل میں تقسیم ہے۔”
― Adeel Ahmed Khan
