مجاہدانہ حرارت رہی نہ صوفی میںبہانہ بے عملی کا بنی شراب الست

Mujahidana Hararat Rahi Na Sufi MeinBahana Be-Amali Ka Bani Sharab-e-Alasst

The mystics of the present age, Are devoid of warriorʹs rage:The claim that they are rapt with wine, Of ’Last and turn from Code Divine!

فقیہ شہر بھی رہبانیت پہ ہے مجبورکہ معرکے ہیں شریعت کے جنگ دست بدست

Faqeeh-e-Sheher Bhi Ruhbaniat Pe Hai MajboorKe Maarke Hain Shariat Ke Jang-e-Dast-Badast

The jurist has such bent of mind, That makes to monkish mode inclined,In Holy Wars take rock‐like stand, They are just combats hand to hand.

گریز کشمکش زندگی سے، مردوں کیاگر شکست نہیں ہے تو اور کیا ہے شکست!

Garaiz Kashmakash-e-Zindagi Se, Mardon KiAgar Shikast Nahin Hai To Aur Kya Hai Shikast!

Manʹs flight from conflicts of life, Or escape from its heat and strife:If these not be abject defeat, What else is then a mean retreat?
