چالاکی ومردانگئ ترک عیانست
گرزودنیائی ونصیحت نہ کنی گوش
آں جاکہ عیانست چہ حاجت بہ بیانست
"O, leader of Bayana don't engage in war with the Turkish man, bravery and talent of the Turkish man is clear. If you don't come rapidly and will not hear my advice then that shall happen which is clear and you know about it very well, no need to be mentioned."
