یاران نبی سے رکھ تولّا باللہ

Yaran-e-Nabi se rakh tawalla Billah

ہر یک ہے کمال دیں میں یکتا باللہ

Har yak hai kamal deen mein yakta Billah

Maintain loyalty with the companions of the Prophet, by God.
Each one is unique in the perfection of religion, by God.

وہ دوست نبی کے اور تم ان کے دشمن

Woh dost Nabi ke aur tum un ke dushman

لا حول ولا قوۃ الا باللہ

La hawla wala quwwata illa Billah

They are friends of the Prophet, and you are their enemies.
There is no power or strength except with Allah.
