مذ ہب
English title: RELIGION
اپني ملت پر قياس اقوام مغرب سے نہ کرخاص ہے ترکيب ميں قوم رسول ہاشمي
Judge not your nation on the criteria of Western nations; special in composition is the Hashimi Prophet’s (S.A.W.) nation.
ان کي جمعيت کا ہے ملک و نسب پر انحصارقوت مذہب سے مستحکم ہے جمعيت تري
Based on country and race is their organization; the force of din stabilizes your organization.
دامن ديں ہاتھ سے چھوٹا تو جمعيت کہاںاور جمعيت ہوئي رخصت تو ملت بھي گئي
If the din’s skirt is lost, disappears the organization; and if organization departs also disappears the nation!
