چې امید په عمارت د دې دنیا کا
د کاغذ په کښتۍ سیر د دریا کا
په لاتیني توریو:
chi umīd pa ʿimārat da de dunyā kā
da kāghaz pa kishtay sayr da daryā kā
انګلیسي ژباړه:
He who puts his hope in the buildings of this world
goes sailing the sea in a paper boat.
د دې شعر په اړه
One couplet of Daulat's that Rashad prints to show how Rahman Baba built an ode on Daulat's lines; Raverty translates Rahman's reply in Selections, pp. 31-32. Translation ours; the second word group of the first line is spaced in print and should be checked.
ژباړه: Pashtunxwa
