ہندي مسلمان
English title: INDIAN MUSLIM
غدار وطن اس کو بتاتے ہيں برہمنانگريز سمجھتا ہے مسلماں کو گداگر
Brahmans dub him as foe to native land, the English call him beggar on other hand.
پنجاب کے ارباب نبوت کي شريعتکہتي ہے کہ يہ مومن پارينہ ہے کافر
The Code of Prophet born in Punjab says: ’This ancient Muslim owns many pagan ways’.
آوازہ حق اٹھتا ہے کب اور کدھر سے!'مسکيں ولکم ماندہ دريں کشمکش اندر'
When and whence the call to truth shall rise, my humble heart is feeling much surprise?
