لا الہ الا اﷲ

ہر قبای کہنہ چاک از دست اوقیصر و کسری ھلاک از دست او

English translation

Every old garment was torn off by them; Chosroes and Caesars met their doom at their hands.
(Chosroe was the title of Persian monarchs and Caesar, of Roman emperors. Qaisar and Kisra are used as symbols of imperialism.)

Translated by Bashir Ahmad Dar

Urdu translation

اس کے ہاتھوں ہر پرانی قبا چاک ہوئی، اس نے قیصر و کسری ( کی سلطنتوں ) کو خاک میں ملا دیا۔
