The Weight of Wisdom

آسہِ چھیٚنِس ٹھۄنؠ ٹھۄنؠ تہٕ بٔرتِس گۄبٮؠر

Aasi chhenis thony thony te bartis gobyer

The empty vessel shall rattle, while the laden holds its heavy grace

آسہِ طوطہٕ کوٚل تہٕ کاوس کٲنٛٹھ

Aasi tooti kol te kaawas kaanyth

The parrot shall fall mute, while the crow boasts a singer's voice

آسہِ پھرٛستَس تھزر پھل لَنجہِ گۄبٮؠر

Aasi phrastas thazar phal lanji gobyer

The barren poplar shall stand tall, while the fruit-laden branch bows low

آسہِ پٲز وَنن تہٕ پاتھٕلؠ گٲنٛٹھ

Aasi paaz wanan te paathiliy gaanyth

The noble falcon shall retreat to the wild, while the lowly kite claims the open ground
