سب اپنے بنائے ہوئے زنداں میں ہیں محبوسخاور کے ثوابت ہوں کہ افرنگ کے سیار

Sub Apne Banaye Huwe Zindan Mein Hain MehboosKhawar Ke Sawabit Hon Ke Afrang Ke Sayyar

The sedent nations of the East, Or active dwellers of the West;Are inmates of such dungeons that, Were built by them with zeal and zest!

پیران کلیسا ہوں کہ شیخان حرم ہوںنے جدت گفتار ہے، نے جدت کردار

Peeran-e-Kalisa Hon Ke Sheikhan-e-Haram HonNe Jiddat-e-Guftar Hai, Ne Jiddat-e-Kirdar

The priests who guide the Christian church, And elders who maintain the Shrine,Lack newness of discourse and speech, Bereft are they of actions fine.

ہیں اہل سیاست کے وہی کہنہ خم و پیچشاعر اسی افلاس تخیل میں گرفتار

Hain Ahle-e-Siasat Ke Wohi Kuhna Kham-o-PaichShayar Issi Aflas-e-Takhiyyul Mein Giraftar

Experts in statecraft practise still, The same antique guile and wily tricksNo flights of fancy the bard can claim, To ideals low and mean he sticks!

دنیا کو ہے اس مہدی برحق کی ضرورتہو جس کی نگہ زلزلہ عالم افکار

Dunya Ko Hai Uss Mahdi-e-Barhaq Ki ZarooratHo Jis Ki Nigah Zalzala-e-Alam-e-Afkar

It is time that the expected Guide, May soon appear on worldly stage;His piercing glance in realm of thought, Would cause a violent storm to rage.
