لا الہ الا اﷲ

بانگ حق از صبح خیزیہای اوستہر چہ ہست از تخم ریزیہای اوست

English translation

The invitation to the truth (the call to prayer) is the result of their early rising; whatever exists is the outcome of their sowing (of seed).
(Rising early in the morning: It stands for intense devotion to God. Sowing of seed is to prepare the field for cultivation. The first line signifies that the ideal man is in constant touch with God from Whom be gets inspiration, as a result of which he tries to establish the rule of God’s laws on this earth.)

Translated by Bashir Ahmad Dar

Urdu translation

اس کی صبح خیزی سے بانگ حق بلند ہوئی ، جو کچھ بھی ہمیں نظر آتا ہے ان ہی کے بوئے ہوئے بیج ہیں۔
