کل ایک شوریدہ خواب گاہ نبی پہ رو رو کے کہہ رہا تھاکہ مصر و ہندوستاں کے مسلم بنائے ملت مٹا رہے ہیں

Kal Aik Shaurida Khawab-Gah-e- Nabi (S.A.W.) Pe Ro Ro Ke Keh Raha ThaKe Misr-o-Hindustan Ke Muslim Binaye-e-Millat Mita Rahe Hain

Yesterday a desperate Lover was saying with wailing at the Prophet’s tomb“The Egyptian and Indian Muslims dare destroying the Millat’s foundation!

یہ زائران حریم مغرب ہزار رہبر بنیں ہمارےہمیں بھلا ان سے واسطہ کیا جو تجھ سے نا آشنا رہے ہیں

Ye Zaeeran-e-Hareem-e-Magrib Hazar Rahbar Banain HumareHumain Bhala In Se Wasta Kya Jo Tujh Se Na-Ashna Rahe Hain

These pilgrims to the West’s sanctuary may fake our leadershipWhat bond do we have with those who have remained unacquainted with you?

غضب ہیں یہ 'مرشدان خود بیں خدا تری قوم کو بچائے!بگاڑ کر تیرے مسلموں کو یہ اپنی عزت بنا رہے ہیں

Ghazab Hain Ye ‘Murshadan-e-Khud-Been’ Khuda Qaum Ko Bachaye!Bighaar Kar Tere Muslamon Ko Ye Apni Izzat Bana Rahe Hain

Outrageous are these “self-seeking spiritual leaders”, May God protect your MillatThey are promoting their own glory by destroying the Muslims

سنے گا اقبال کون ان کو، یہ انجمن ہی بدل گئی ہےنئے زمانے میں آپ ہم کو پرانی باتیں سنا رہے ہیں!

Sune Ga Iqbal Kon In Ko, Ye Anjuman Hi Badal Gyi HaiNaye Zamane Mein App  Hum Ko Purani Batain Suna Rahe Hain!

O Iqbal who would listen to you, the congregation has changedYou are telling us these tales of the old in the new age
