دگرگون کشور ہندوستان است
English title: Looking in a mess is Indian State,
دگرگون کشور ہندوستان استدگرگون آن زمین و آسمان است
This land of Hind is all topsy‐turvy, this earth and heaven are all upside down,
ہندوستان کی سلطنت رنگ بدل چکی ہے ۔ اسکی زمین اور آسمان تبدیل ہو چکا ہے ۔
مجو از ما نماز پنجگانہغلامان را صف آرائی گران است
don’t expect from us five daily prayers, for drawing up in rows is burdensome for slaves.
ہم سے پانچ وقت کی نماز نہ مانگ کیونکہ غلاموں کو صف آراء ہونا بھاری ہوتا ہے ۔
