Allāh Hū


Main-kade main baith ke, MaiN kehta Allāh Hū
Har ek jaam chor ke, MaiN peeta Allāh Hū

Ek sḫama ko dekh ke, bolun maiN Allāh Hū
Jal jal ke hota fanā, bas bachta Allāh Hū

Shabbīr ka sar hai nok-e-naiza, bole Allāh Hū
Haq hota hai yuN ayaN, keh keh ke Allāh Hū

La fata illa ʿAli, jo bole Allāh Hū
Ek zarbat kha ke bana, yun banda Allāh Hū

Haq bola hai yeh Nabī neiN, keh ke Allāh Hū
MaiN jiska maula ʿAlī maula haiN, Allāh Hū

Mera Mursḫid, mera Maula, mera Allāh Hū
Kho gaya meiN meiN kahaN, meiN sochuN Allāh Hū
