طلوع اسلام
بتان رنگ و خوں کو توڑ کر ملت میں گم ہو جانہ تورانی رہے باقی، نہ ایرانی، نہ افغانی
English translation
Breaking the idols of race and colour merge into the millat; there should be neither Turanian, nor Iranian, nor Afghanian!
(Turani: The term applies to any of the peoples who live in Turan, which is the region north of the River Oxus.)
Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
