Analysis of Should You Have a Friend
Sheikh Noor-ud-din Wali 1377 (Qaimoh) – 1438 (Rupwan, Charari Sharief)
Should you have a friend,
Sacrifice yourself for him.
From time to time, a friend
Is a breezy dawn !
Earth, earthly be, free from
Birth-Re-birth;
What need remains for
Protective defence ?
Or
What need remains
To fear fate?
