Allah, Allah, Allah Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Ya Maliko, Ya Khaliqo, Ya Batino, Ya Zahiro Ya Qadiro, Ya Hakimo, Ya Momino, Ya Hadiyo Ya Awwalo, Ya Akhiro, Ya Qaimo, Al Nafi'o Allaho Qabla Kullo Shay Allaho Ba'da Kullo Shay Yeh Kehke Haider Ne Yeh Kehke Haider Ne, Sajde Mein Rakhi Peshani Allaah...Allah Allaho Baqi Min Kulle Faani

Allah, Allah, Allah. Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah. O King, O Creator, O Hidden, O Manifest. O Powerful, O Wise, O Believer, O Guide. O First, O Last, O Sustainer, The Beneficent. Allah is before everything. Allah is after everything. Saying this, Haider placed his forehead in prostration. Allah... Allah. Allah is the only one who remains, all else is fleeting.

Rab Ka Irada Haider Aur Uski Marzi Bhi Iske Haatho'n Ne Gundhi Adam Ki Matti Bhi Iske Bacho'n Ke Naukar, Jannat Ke Darzi Bhi

The Lord's intent is Haider's, and so is His pleasure. His hands molded the clay of Adam. Even the servants of his children are the tailors of Paradise.

Ya Rabbe Zuljalaal

O Lord of Majesty.

Har Jumla Haider Ka Har Jumla Haider Ka, Is Misre Ka Hai Sani Haatho'n Se Marna Baa'nte, Thokar Se Jeena Bhi Marhab Ke Tukde Karde, Dharti Ka Seena Bhi Khud Hai Manshoore Yazdaa, Uski Kapina Bhi

Every sentence of Haider is like a verse of the Quran. He distributes death with his hands and life with a kick. He tore Marhab apart, and the chest of the earth as well. He himself is the manifesto of the Divine, and his command is absolute.

Dawaa Salooni Ka Dawaa Salooni Ka, Aur Phir Bhi Baat Ye Maani Khud Hi Qur'aan E Natiq, Aur Khud Hi Qaari Hai Iske Haatho'n Ki Khilqat, Ye Duniya Saari Hai Fuzto Be Rabbil Kaaba, Ye Hamd E Baari Hai

The claim of 'Ask me' (Salooni), and yet this truth was accepted. He himself is the Speaking Quran, and he himself is the Reciter. All this creation is the work of his hands. 'I have succeeded by the Lord of the Kaaba'—this is the praise of the Creator.

Kehdi Do Lafzo Mein Kehdi Do Lafzo Mein, Thi Baat Badi Toolani Chalta Hai Mera Sikka Arz O Sama Par Mai To Rahunga Zinda, Hukme Khuda Par Mujhpe Qaza Gir Jaye, Ya Mai Qaza Par

He said it in two words, though the matter was vast. 'My currency runs across the Earth and the Heavens. I shall remain alive by the command of God, whether death falls upon me, or I fall upon death.'

Ye Sunke Haider Se Ye Sunke Haider Se, Duniya Ko Hui Hairani Ek Din Nuseri Bola, Kyu Mujhko Maara Hai Jo Kuch Aankho'n Se Dekha, Maine Wo Bola Hai Meri Socho Ka Malik, Iske Hi Jaisa Hai

Hearing this from Haider, the world was astonished. One day a Nuseri asked, 'Why have you killed me?' 'Whatever I saw with my eyes, I have spoken. The Master of my thoughts is just like him.'

Ye Hamd E Baari Hai Ye Hamd E Baari Hai, Haider Ki Qasida Khwani Nafse Khuda Bhi Haider, Aur Iska Pehlu Bhi Wo Hai Hijab E Akbar, Wird E Allahu Bhi Maana Hai Waliyo'n Ne Bhi, Kehte Hai Sadhu Bhi

This is the praise of the Creator, the eulogy of Haider. Haider is the Soul of God, and his side (companion) as well. He is the Greatest Veil, and the invocation of 'Allahu' too. The saints have accepted this, and the ascetics say so as well.

Samjha Na Koi Isko Samjha Na Koi Isko, Baat Hai Ye Irfani Karbobala Se Pucho, Is Jumle Ka Matlab Sukhe Kooze Dikhlake, Kehdenge Tashna Lab Besar Laashe Bolenge, Ya Phir Bibi Zainab

No one understood this; it is a mystical matter. Ask Karbala for the meaning of this sentence. Showing dry water skins, the thirsty-lipped ones will say it. The headless bodies will speak, or perhaps Bibi Zainab.

Zere Khanjar Kehdega Zere Khanjar Kehdega, Karbobala Ka Baani Kulle Eemaa'n Ki Baatein, Eemaa'n Hai Mazhar Isme Hai Hami Tera, Irfan E Haider Ye Baatein Karte Hai Hum, Mimbar Pe Jaakar

Under the dagger, the founder of Karbala will say it. The words of 'Total Faith' (Kulle Eemaa'n) are the faith of Mazhar. In this lies your protection, the realization of Haider. We speak these words while standing on the pulpit.

Han Ishq E Haider Ne Han Ishq E Haider Ne, Haider Ki Baat Hai Maani Allaho Baqi Min Kulle Faani

Yes, the love of Haider has accepted the word of Haider: Allah is the only one who remains, all else is fleeting.
