Waaiz-e-Qoum Ki Woh Pukhta Khayali Na Rahi

 Barq Taba’ee Na Rahi, Shaola Maqali Na Rahi

                                         Reh Gyi Rasm-e-Azan, Rooh-e-Bilali Na Rahi
                                         Falsafa Reh Gya, Talqeen-e-Ghazali Na Rahi

Masjidain Marsiya Khawan Hain Ke Namazi Na Rahe

 Yani Woh Sahib-e-Ausaf-e-Hijazi Na Rahe

                                 Stanza (17)

Shor Hai Ho Gaye Dunya Se Musalman Nabood

 Hum Ye Kehte Hain Ke The Bhi Kahin Muslim Maujood!

Waza Mein Tum Ho Nisara, Tau Tamaddun Mein Hanood,

 Yeh Musalman Hain! Jinhain Dekh Ke Sharmaen Yahood?

Yun To Syed Bhi Ho, Mirza Bhi Ho, Afghan Bhi Ho

 Tum Sabhi Kuch Ho, Batao To Musalman Bhi Ho!

                                 Stanza (18)

Dam-e-Taqreer Thi Muslim Ki Sadaqat Bebak

 Adal Uss Ka Tha Qawi, Loos-e-Mara’at Se Pak

Shajar-e-Fitrat-e-Muslim Tha Haya Se Namnak

 Tha Shujaat Mein Woh Ek Hasti-e-Fouq-Ul-Idraak

Khud Gudazi Nam-e-Kaifiat-e-Sehbayesh Bood

 Khali Az Khawaish Shudan Soorat-e-Meenayesh Bood

                                Stanza (19)

Har Musalman Rag-e-Batil Ke Liye Nashtar Tha

 Uss Ke Aaeena-e-Hasti Mein Amal Jouhar Tha

Jo Bharosa Tha Usse Quwwat-e-Bazoo Par Tha

 Hai Tumhain Mout Ka Dar, Uss Ko Khuda Ka Dar Tha

Baap Ka Ilm Na Bete Ko Agar Azbar Ho

 Phir Pisar Qabil-e-Miraas-e-Pidar Kyunkar Ho!

                                 Stanza (20)

Har Koi Mast-e-Mai-e-Zauq-e-Tan Asani Hai,

 Tum Musalman Ho? Ye Andaaz-e-Musalmani Hai?

Haidari Faqr Hai Ne Doulat-e-Usmani Hai

 Tum Ko Aslaaf Se Kya Nisbat-e-Rohani Hai?

Woh Zamane Mein Mu’azzaz The Musalman Ho Kar

 Aur Tum Khawar Huwe Taarik-e-Quran Ho Kar
