HUM KHAAK HAIN By the Hassan of Hind, the Reviver of Islam: A’ala Hadhrat Imam Ahmed Raza Khan alQadri. (May Allah be pleased with him) WE ARE DUST English Translation by: Aqib Farid alQadri (May he be forgiven) Hum Khaak HaiN Aur Khaak Hi Ma’vaa Hai Hamaara Khaaki To Wo Adam Jadd e A’ala Hai Hamaara We are dust, and indeed our refuge is the dust! Indeed our forefather Adam was also created from dust! ALLAH Humein Khaak Kare Apni Talab Me Yeh Khaak To Sarkaar Se Tamgha Hai Hamaara May Allah, in yearning for Him, turn us into dust! A medal of honour from our master is indeed such dust! Jis Khaaq Pe Rakhte The Qadam Sayyide A’alam Us Khaaq Pe QurbaaN Dil e Shaida Hai Hamaara The dust upon which tread the feet of the creation’s leader! My devoted heart wills to be sacrificed upon that dust! Kham Ho Gayi Pushte Falak Iss Ta’ne Zamee(n) Se Sunn! Hum Pe Madina Hai Wo Rutbaa Hai Hamaara The sky bent forward in humility upon hearing this from the earth, “Listen, such is my honour! The city of the Prophet rests upon my dust!” Usne Laqab E Khaak Shahenshah Se Paaya Jo Haider E Karrar Ki Maula Hai Hamaara The attacking lion Ali, who is our master! Was bestowed by the Emperor himself, the title of “dust”! Ay Mudda’eyo! Khaak Ko Tum Khaak Na Samjhe Iss Khaak Me Madfu(n) Shahe Bat-ha Hai Hamaara O, claimants! You have not understood a bit, what is dust! Our King of the valley of Makkah lies buried in this dust! Hai Khaak Se Ta’ameer Mazaar E Shahe Qounain Ma’mur Isi Khaak Se Kibla Hai Hamaara The tomb of the Emperor of the worlds in made from dust! Our Qiblah the Ka’aba too, is built from this very dust! Hum Khaak Udayenge Jo Wo Khaak Na Paayi Aabad Raza Jis Pe Madina Hai Hamaara O Raza, the dust upon which the city of the Prophet exists! We shall indeed be losers if we do not attain that dust! Infinite blessings of Allah and salutations be upon our Master, the Holy Prophet Mohammed, his pure wives, his noble progeny, his virtuous companions and all those who rightly follow him until the Last Day. Infinite blessings and peace be upon all the prophets. Aqib Farid alQadri. 17th Sha’baan, 1439 (Friday, 04 May 2018) DOWNLOAD IN PDF FORMAT
