Ilm kehta hai ke hun aalim e tafseer e wajood Nabz e fun kehta hai harkat me hai meri barkat,

kia nasoot hai aur kia cheez hai maqam e malakoot, Jabroot aur lahoot pe hai mujhko qudrat,

Mujhe har fun me hai qudrat mujhe har sheh me kamaal baj raha hai laman ul mulk kakoos e shohrat,

Aalim e Ilm e Tawarikh o khabar hun aesa kehte hain ahle e khabar mahir e kher o khibrat,

Aalam e quds ko jata hun to seekh ata hun har ghadi ek naya ilm nayi ek hikmat,

Wo munazir hun nahi hind me jiska saani, wo mubahis hun karun behes ko Tabe hujjat,

Ilm e auzaan se agha jo ho wo jane, paekar e sher me chalis tarah ki rangat.

Keemya e ilm e ramal ilm e najoom aur jafar Sab hai maloom ye jitne hain freb e daulat,

Hai amal me mere ehkaam e hadees o Quran Ilm e irfaan e salasa me hun sheikh e millat,
