نکل کر خانقاہوں سے ادا کر رسم شبيري
English title: Come out of the monastery and play the role of Shabbir
نکل کر خانقاہوں سے ادا کر رسم شبيريکہ فقر خانقاہي ہے فقط اندوہ و دلگيري
Come out of the monastery and play the role of Shabbir, | for monastery’s faqr is but grief and affliction.
ترے دين و ادب سے آ رہي ہے بوئے رہبانييہي ہے مرنے والي امتوں کا عالم پيري
Thy religion and literature both smell of renunciation: | symbol of old age of dying nations.
شياطين ملوکيت کي آنکھوں ميں ہے وہ جادوکہ خود نخچير کے دل ميں ہو پيدا ذوق نخچيري
Imperialism has myriads of Satans with eyes full of magic charms | that evoke among the prey an irresistible urge to be its victim.
چہ بے پروا گذشتند از نواے صبحگاہ من!کہ برد آں شور و مستي از سيہ چشمان کشميري
How carelessly they passed by, with no ear to my lamentations, | The Kashmiri’s black eyes, so lacking in lustre and life, who made them so dead and mute?
