     وَکَرُ سو وِھاءِ، جو پَئِي پُراڻو نَہ ٿِئي،
     ويچِيندي وِلائِتَ کي، ذَرو ٿِئي نَہ ضاعِ
     سا ڪا ھَڙَ ھَلاءِ، آڳَھَ جَنھِن جي اُبُھين.
     

     vakharu so vihāi, jo paī purāṇo nah thie,
     vecī̃de vilāita khe, ẕaro thie nah ẓāʻi
     sā kā haṛa halāi, āg̠aha jãhĩ je ubuhẽ.
     

     • 2012 translation by Amena Khamisani

       Trade with merchandise that time will neither rust nor rot,
       Selling it in foreign land, will bring you no loss;
       Use such coinage that your salvation brings.
