کہن ہنگامہ ہائے آرزو سرد
English title: The old flame of desires has grown cold
کہن ہنگامہ ہائے آرزو سردکہ ہے مرد مسلماں کا لہو سرد
The old flame of desires has grown cold, | As the Muslims’ veins hot‐blood no longer hold.
بتوں کو ميري لاديني مبارککہ ہے آج آتش 'اللہ ھو، سرد
Greetings to the idols for my secularism, | For flame of Allah Hoo’s cheers is dead, behold!
