دگر ملت کہ کاری پیش گیرد
English title: A nation again whom duty is dear,
دگر ملت کہ کاری پیش گیرددگر ملت کہ نوش از نیش گیرد
Another millat that sets a new task for herself, that sucks elixir out of thorns,
دوسری قوم جس کے سامنے کوئی مقصد ہو ، وہ دوسری قوم جو مقصد کی خاطر تکلیفوں سے خوشی حاصل کرے ۔
نگردد با یکی عالم رضامنددو عالم را بہ دوش خویش گیرد
is not content with this one world and carried two worlds on her shoulders.
وہ قوم جو ایک جہان سے خوش نہ ہو بلکہ دونوں جہانوں کا بوجھ اپنے کندھوں پر اٹھائے ۔
