Wa'izu mayn woh takabbar k ilahi taubah
                                    Apni har baat ko Awaz-e-khuda kehte hein.
                                    
                                    Bughz-i lillah k parde main adavat zati,
                                    Din ki arr mayn kya kehte hein kya kehte hein.
                                    Tairay bandon ka ju haal hayi ay Shaf'i hashr,
                                    Mairey jaison ko to kya jaane kya kehte hein.
                                                                                                                            (Allama Iqbal)
                                    The sermonizers are afflicted with
                                     so much of pride that
                                     I seek Allah's mercy
                                     They characterize their
                                     every word
                                     As Allah's will.
                                     In the pretext of standing up
                                     for Allah, they peddle their
                                     own selfish interests.
                                     shielding themselves
                                     behind religion,
                                     They say one thing
                                     And do another.
                                     If this is what they have done
                                     to your people
                                     O intercessor on the Judgement Day
                                     then their verbaliZing
                                     abuses to men,
                                     like me,
                                     mst be awesome.
