The cow one day started saying to the camel: Nothing in the world rests in one condition. (One angle to look at these verses is that camel and cow represent Muslims and Hindus inhabiting the Indian Subcontinent)

I am ignominious by breaking my rope; I hear you have also broken your nose string.

Though you are important in India for political reasons; but due to railway the Arabian desert finds no use for you.

Till yesterday you were avoiding the cow’s companionship; the voice of ‘never’ on your hanging lips was persistent.

What is the matter that you are so favourable to me today that old displeasure does not exist in your heart today.

Hearing this speech the camel bashfully said: I am also to be counted among your lovers.

The envy of hundreds of camel’s ogle is your one frisk; since long I am the lover of such a frisk.

The effects of your tumults have spread in the forest such that speech has produced its taste even among the speechless.

I am living only in one desert since a long time; as I have nothing I am fed on borrowed money.

If goat, camel, cow, leopard and the lame donkey; all exist in the same condition we shall have prestige.

If the gardener learns the lesson of uniformity; why should not the gardens’ birds live in harmony?

Give me also the same cup as only this appears proper; you should be intoxicated, your companions should also be intoxicated.

‘The patched garment of Hafiz is worthless, colour him with wine, then bring him to the market, lost and intoxicated’.
