Na to naaquus se hai aur na asnaam se hai

Hind ki garmi-e-hungama tere naam se hai    

(Neither because of conch nor by its idols
The excitement and love thriving in India is by your name)
#Dussehra

Teri taalim hui nazr-e-khurafaat-e-firang

Barhaman ko ye gila gardish-e-ayyam se hai

(Your teachings have been destroyed by the evil plans of the English
Brahmin is still blaming it over the changing times)
#Dussehra

Naqsh-e-tehziib-Hunud ab bhi numaya hai agar

To wo Sita se hai, Lachhman se hai aur Ram se hai

(If the imprints of the Hindu civilization are still evident
These are because of Sita, Lakshman and Rama) 
#Dussehra

Fasana Ram Chandra ji ka sab ko yaad hai azbar

Unhone kis tarah buniyaad-e-haq-o-sidq mohkam ki

(We all remember the story of Lord Rama/ How, he laid the strong foundations of righteousness and truth)
#Dussehra

Haqiiqat shanaasi ki gar justjuu hai

Sabaq tumko denge Sri Ram Chandra

(If you want to learn reality of the world and true knowledge. The lesson will be taught by Lord Rama)
#Dussehra

Koi leta hai muh se Ram ka naam

Magar kehta hai Ravan hi khuda hai

(He who utters the name of Lord Rama
Through actions, consider Ravana as his god)
