Darood-e-Awaisiya (Ashiq e Rasool Hazrat Owais Qarni (RA) )

Nushirvan was riding his horse with the speed of an arrow when he saw in
the road an old man [bent] like a bow.
The old man was planting a number of trees. The king said to him: “Since
thy hair has turned to milk,
And since thou wilt remain only a few more days, why art thou planting
trees here?”
The old man replied: “There is reason enough. Since many have planted for
us,
So that today we have the benefit thereof, we too are planting for others.
One should take each step in accordance with one’s capacity, for in every
step there should be order.
The king was pleased with the old man’s speech. He filled his hand with gold
and said: “Take this.”
The old man said to him: “victorious king, already today my trees have
borne fruit.
For If I live to be over seventy thou knowest that I have not fared badly by
this planting.
The planting did not make me wait ten years; it has borne gold as fruit this
very day.”
The king was even more pleased with this reply of his, and he bestowed
upon him the land, the village and the water.—
Thou must perform thy labour today for without labour thou wilt have no
fruit.
Thou must set thy foot on the road of the Faith, thou must lay aside vanity.
