46 ہر قطرہ ایں اس انگبیں THE VICTORY OF ISLAM اے برادر دل منه در دولت دنیائی دوں زہر خوں ریزست در هر O brother! Consume yourself not in a life of worldly luxury; Every drop of this honey being tainted with poison. تا توانی جہد کن از بهر دیں با جان و مال تاز رب العرش یابی خلعت صد آفریں Sacrifice your life and wealth to the utmost for the sake of the Faith, So that the Lord of the Throne be pleased with you. دل چو دادی یوسفی را راہِ کنعاں را گزیں از عمل ثابت کن آں نوری که در ایمان تست Your deeds testify to the light of belief within you; Should you give your heart to Joseph, then you must journey to Canaan. یاد ایا میکہ ایں دیں مرجع ہر کیش بود عالمی را وارهانید از ره دیو لعیں Do you remember the days when this Religion attracted all, high and low? It liberated multitudes from the path of the behemoth of Satan the Accursed. پائے خود مے زد زعزو جاه بر چرخ بریں بر زمین گسترد ظل تربیت از نور علم Through the light of its knowledge, it had stretched its shade across the earth for the reformation of mankind; And by virtue of its honour and glory, its foot rested upon the highest Heaven.
