سرگزشت ملت بیضا کا تو آئینہ ہےاے مہ نو! ہم کو تجھ سے الفت دیرینہ ہے

English translation

You are the mirror of the history of Millat-i-Baidah. O crescent! We are your lovers since a very long time.
(Millat-i-Baidah: Allusion to the egg-shaped radiant mark on the palm of S. Messiah A.S., which was bestowed on him by God (The Holy Qur’an 7: 108). ‘Allamah Iqbal calls the Muslim Ummah as ‘Millat-i-Baidah’ because he is confident of the rise of Islam in the world.)
