اے باد صبا! کملی والے سے جا کہیو پیغام مرا

اے باد صبا! کملی والے سے جا کہیو پیغام مراقبضے سے امت بیچاری کے دیں بھی گیا، دنیا بھی گئی

English translation

O zephyr! Convey my message to the one wrapped in blanket: The poor Ummah has lost both din and material resources.
(The one wrapped in blanket: The word in the original is ‘One wrapped in a small blanket’. This is the title of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) as a mark of affection and is based on such affection shown by no less an entity than God in the opening verses of the Holy Qur’an, Surahs 73 and 74.)

Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
