يقيں ، مثل خليل آتش نشيني
English title: Faith survives in fire, like Abraham
يقيں ، مثل خليل آتش نشينييقيں ، اللہ مستي ، خود گزيني
سن ، اے تہذيب حاضر کے گرفتارغلامي سے بتر ہے بے يقيني
Faith, like Abraham, sits down in the fire; to have faith is to be drawn into God and to be oneself. Listen, you captive of modern civilization, to lack faith is worse than slavery!
