طلوع اسلام

خروش آموز بلبل ہو، گرہ غنچے کی وا کر دےکہ تو اس گلستاں کے واسطے باد بہاری ہے

English translation

Partake the nightingale’s clamour; open the flower bud as your person is the spring breeze for this garden.
(This and the following verses to the end of the poem contain the message of hope and prompting for struggle for Muslims. The climax is reached in the last verse of the poem in which the poet invites Muslims to revolutionize the world and establish the new Islamic world order.)
