فقر

اک فقر سکھاتا ہے صےاد کو نخچيري
اک فقر سے کھلتے ہيں اسرار جہاں گيري
اک فقر سے قوموں ميں مسکيني و دلگيري
اک فقر سے مٹي ميں خاصيت اکسيري

اک فقر ہے شبري ، اس فقر ميں ہے ميري
ميراث مسلماني ، سرمايہء شبيري

Ek Faqr Sikhata Hai Sayyad Ko Nakhcheeri
Ek Faqr Se Khulte Hain Asrar-e-Jahangeeri

Ek Faqr Se Qoumon Mein Maskeeni-o-Dilgeeri
Ek Faqr Se Mitti Mein Khasiyat-e-Ikseeri

Ek Faqr Hai Shabiri, Is Faqr Se Hai Meeri
Meeras-e-Musalmani, Sarmaya-e-Shabiri!

There is a faqr that teaches the hunter to be a prey;
There is another that opens the secrets of mastery over the world.

There is a faqr that is the root of needfulness and misery among nations;
There is another that turns mere dust into elixir.

One faqr is Shabiri, and it has qualities of emperor
Which is Muslim heritage and real wealth of Shabir.
