O heedless people, how long will you keep sleeping in this inn of the world? Wake up, do you not have to return toward your true homeland?

Here, the poet compares our worldly existence to a roadside inn ('sarā-e-dahr')—a transient shelter meant only for a brief rest, never a permanent dwelling. Falling asleep symbolizes spiritual heedlessness, where we get so lost in worldly comforts that we forget our true origins. It is a gentle yet urgent wake-up call from the poet, reminding us to shake off our slumber and prepare for the soul's inevitable return to its true, eternal home.
