The Futility of Unreceptive Soil

سیٚکہِ شاٹھن پھل کیٛاہ ووَکھ

Syeki shaathan phal kyaah wowakh

What harvest will you ever reap by sowing seeds in barren banks of sand?

دَشک ژَمرٕوٮؠن تھاجن چھیٖل

Dashakh tsamrawyen thaajan chheel

It is as futile as trying to scrape wood shavings from rigid vessels of iron

مُڈس پرٕٛنَکھ ۂسؠ تِس کشَکھ

Mudas prunakh, hastis kashakh

Offering profound advice to a fool is like trying to satisfy an elephant with a mere scratch

راوی ژٕھنُن کوٚم یا جن تیٖل

Raawi tshunun kom ya jan teel

It is a total waste, like pouring precious, fragrant oil over dry cakes of worthless bran!
