در حضور رسالت مآب

نے سجودی پیش معبودان پیرنے طواف کوشک سلطان و میر

English translation

We did not prostrate ourselves before ancient gods, nor did we walk in adoration round the palaces of kings and nobles;
(It was due to the revolutionary teaching of the Prophet that man was freed from bondage to other-than God.)

Translated by Bashir Ahmad Dar

Urdu translation

نہ پرانے خداؤں کو سجدہ کیا؛ نہ پادشاہوں اور امرا کے محلات کا طواف کیا۔
