ہنوز این چرخ نیلی کج خرام است
English title: The sky still going on a perverse course,
ہنوز این چرخ نیلی کج خرام استہنوز این کاروان دور از مقام است
The skystill going on a perverse course, The car’avan is far off from its place.
ابھی تک آسمان ٹیڑھی چال چل رہا ہے ۔ ابھی تک یہ قافلہ اپنے مقام سے دور ہے ۔
ز کار بی نظام او چہ گویم؟تو میدانی کہ ملت بی امام است
His wild goose chases I cannot endorse, No leader they have to direct this race.
میں اس کی زندگی کے بے ترتیب کام سے متعلق کیا کہوں ۔ تو جانتا ہے کہ ملت اسلامیہ کا کوئی رہنما نہیں ہے ۔
