'Ashiq sache nahin marde. Main yad rakhtā hāi, jo meri 'umar us-vele chaudah pandrah varhiyai-di huin, jon hik ādni musafir chalih paintālih varhiyāu-dā, hāji ākhidā-hā, mere dädā buzurg Hafiz Ahmad (zhafru'llāhi 'inahi) de kol aiya-āi. Us eh qissa kar-sunäiyā, jo :
Main as-pās mulk Chachh-Hazăre di rahnewäla hād; gharoi waste guzirne hajj khāna. ka'aba ke turā. Turdā, turdā, turdā jahājute charā. Taqdir Khuda de nāl samundar vioh oh jahāj kise marah sote-tote hoyā. Irādah Haqq-pāk de näl main hik takhta laksi ute rah-giyā. Nahin ma'alum kitne dinhāú nui pichhe taqdiran kinārah ute kise jagah vanj-pahuncha.
Maid bhukhā, trahāyā, mānda häom. Kuchh turan phiran de āsang nahe, hayāti bāqi hãi. Patr darakhtäú ate jhar darakhtais: vi khake kujh täkat jadãú ai. Uche uche pahārā ir ate darakhtän to charke wason Abadi dhündā. Vekhda hiom kitne-hik wahai, too pichhe hik jäh te phūse majh di ditthi, mais jätā ki eh nishāni abadi di ma'lum hondi hai. Pher man vich akhdä-hāom ki jangal vich bhi ākhde han jo gain majhia hondiāú han, iho jithe vichăr dil-vich ändi-hāji. Tadā n bbi usdi khuri di nishan-nün vekhdā, hik jäh te vanj. pohutthā jo dudh kharhda-hā. Ate chaupher chaupher darakht jhäţe chhän-wili jangali jinhân dã mainu nan bhi nahin andā. Ate kadin ditthe bhi nahin. Uthe jame hoi hāin. Hik darakht vadā pašā ya ukánh da usdi jo usdi madh-wāle lakriyoń purāne hondi khor (ya'ne wāngon dhol di) khāli hăi. Majú us-vich varke, is dar kolon jo lokāi di zabāni suna hoyā hā ki räshak o jā vich honde han ate admiyon-nui phad-phadke khände han. Luk.chhipke dardā dardā baithā.
Tän jo dinh lahan då velä hoyā, us-vele āwāz vajhli (ya'ne baiñari) då mais sunyan, aur dittha ki hik shakhs sabri kāli idhar kiti hoi, baiisri vagindā. Hūā jāngal valoń ända-he. Usdi pichhe majhin andiyāu han. Ek tamasha jadāà maiú ditthā, dilvich apne ap ākhyā. ki “Khudá jāne eh kon he ate keä tamasha he."
Us jagah te oh admi ake bah-rahā, majhji bhi usdi chaupher bah-rahyan. Thori char pichhou hik mãi sawa, sarhā kapra kītā hūā, ate math te kandh kadhyā hua. Kuchh khānai roți nayān pakaiyai hoiy, sar-ten chaiyan hoiyai, ug-de kol a-buithi. Gal-khah hik-dui nālāpat-vich kitī. Vat roți kadhke us nūn ditti. Jis velo roți khāwan lagă uş-vele us mai ākhyā ki "Miäu Ranjhā, hik musafir tusādi mulk dā assă thi parhārån he. Pahle roti khiwa, pichhe ap khā." Oh bolyā ki, “Kithe he?"
Mai Hir ākhyā ki " Tun bulā," oh ā -vesin." Mian Ranjhā ā wāz dittä ki 'Ao musafir á, chhip nahió. !
“Main jāta ki jo asādi mulk Chach-Hazāre-vich Hir-Ranjha akhidi-hain, ate unhändi 'ishq di gawan gândi hāin, shayad eh admi hosan. Main dilon khush hoke unhão-di taraf āiya. Unhãn mera häl-ahwal puchhyā, main kar-sunäiyā. Oh khush hoe, roti ate dudh mainun ditta, main khādhā pitā, ate uthain raha kitenki).
Pichhe unhãn ākhya ki "tui ithe rahsió ya ki kadhaoi vanjanăn he ?
"Mais ākhyā ki "Gharui tā main niyat hajj Khana-Ka'aba de waste kiya-hän; hun jo main rāh kisi dā sohān neh hon ate na koi kharch bakhā mere kol he, main kithe vanjāi?"
Oh has haske, akhan lage ki "Assäú bhi haji Khana Ka'aba di karni-he. Je tūú chāhei tainun bhi apne näl le-dasnāhin."
Main răzi ate khush hoya, ate itne gal puchhi ki: "Ithon Khāna-Ka'aba kitna dür padh' he?" Unhân ākhyā ki: "Ture 300 kitne koh padh he.”
Maio puchhya ki: "Padh yhûn he, kadän pohunches hiú?" Pher anhän akhyā ki. "Tüi fikr na kari-vanj, sājú," "Ąukm Rabb-de maii chup kar-raha.
