Shere Dawar Kaun Hai, Nafse Payambar Kaun Hai

Who is the Lion of God (the King), who is the soul of the Prophet?

Dono Aalam Me, Mere Maula Ka Hamsar Kaun Hai Sach Batana Mere Maula Ke Siwa Baade Rasool Sabse Aala, Sabse Afzal, Sabse Behtar Kaun Hai

In both worlds, who is equal to my Master? Tell me the truth, besides my Master, after the Messenger, Who is the highest, who is the most virtuous, who is the best?

Karke Marhab Ko Dopara, Has Ke Boli Zulfikaar Ab Samajhme Aa Gaya, Hoga Ke Haider Kaun Hai

Having split Marhab in two, the Zulfiqar smiled and said, 'Now it is understood who Haider (the Lion) is.'

Kyu Na Le Jinno Malak, Maula Ali Se Mahsware Unko Hai Maalum Shehre, Ilm Ka Dar Kaun Hai

Why should the Jinn and Angels not take counsel from Master Ali? They know who is the Gate to the City of Knowledge.

Ban Gaya Hai Ek Naya Dar, Kiske Isteqbaal Me? Tu Bata Tera Rajab, Kaabe Ke Andar Kaun Hai?

A new door has been formed, in whose welcome? You tell me, in your month of Rajab, who is inside the Kaaba?

Asghar E Besheer Ke, Dada Ka Mai Bhi Hu Ghulaam Ab Kaho Sajjad Ke, Kad Ke Barabar Kaun Hai

I am also a slave of the grandfather of the suckling infant Asghar, Now tell me, who is equal in stature to Sajjad?
