ابليس کا فرمان اپنے سياسي فرزندوں کے نام
English title: SATAN TO HIS POLITICAL OFFSPRING
لا کر برہمنوں کو سياست کے پيچ ميںزناريوں کو دير کہن سے نکال دو
Enmesh in politics the Brahmin— | from Their ancient altars the twice‐born expel!
وہ فاقہ کش کہ موت سے ڈرتا نہيں ذراروح محمد اس کے بدن سے نکال دو
The mendicant whom death can't affright, take Mohammad's soul from his mould and expedite.
فکر عرب کو دے کے فرنگي تخيلاتاسلام کو حجاز و يمن سے نکال دو
Dye Arab thought in Frankish fancy's hue, from Hejaz and Yaman expel the Muslims true.
افغانيوں کي غيرت ديں کا ہے يہ علاجملا کو ان کے کوہ و دمن سے نکال دو
The Afghan's zeal for Faith You can assail by exiling Muslim priests from hill and dale.
اہل حرم سے ان کي روايات چھين لوآہو کو مرغزار ختن سے نکال دو
Snatch customs of those, who own Muslim creed, banish musk-yielding deer from Cathay's mead.
اقبال کے نفس سے ہے لالے کي آگ تيزايسے غزل سرا کو چمن سے نکال دو
Iqbal’s breath fans the poppy into flame— | Such minstrels from the flower‐garden expel!
