عرب کے سوز ميں ساز عجم ہے
English title: Observe the strains of' lily song
عرب کے سوز ميں ساز عجم ہےحرم کا راز توحيد امم ہے
تہي وحدت سے ہے انديشہ غربکہ تہذيب فرنگي بے حرم ہے
Arabian fervour has within it the Persian melodies; the hidden purpose of the Sanctuary is to unify all nations. Western thought is bereft of the idea of Oneness, because the Western civilization has no Ka‘bah.
