from alaHazrat's diwan:
woh jisey wahabiyah ne diya, hai laqab shahid o zabih ka,
woh shahid e layla e najd tha wo zabih e taygh e khiyaar hai
ye hai din ki taqwiyat us ke ghar; ye hai mustaqim sirate e sharr
jo shaqi ke dil meiN hai gaw khar, to zabaN pe chohda chamar hai
woh Habib pyara to umr bhar, karey fayz o juud hi sar ba sar
arey tujh ko khaaye tap e saqar, tere dil meiN kis sey bukhaar hai?
and about whom the wahabis have given the title of martyr and the slain:
he was a martyred for his beloved in najd; and he is slain by the swords of the righteous
this is what he calls strengthening of faith, that which is truly a path of mischief
when the wretched rascal has 'bulls and donkeys' in his heart, he utters 'the cobbler and the menial'.
the Beloved has always been generous and giving, for all your life
may the fires of hell swallow you; why does your heart burn in jealousy and disease (when talking about him, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam)

notes:
1. wahabis call ismayil as shahid - the martyr; alaHazrat says he was shahid, but on the path of wahabism not on the path of islam. this he indicates by the metaphor: 'layla e najd',
'his layla of najd' or 'his beloved of najd'. the metaphor is better understood by the fact that the famous story of layla and majnun (qays) is also set in najd. another figurative translation would be: 'he was martyr for the dark night of najd' apparently an indication towards the hadith that RasulAllah Sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam warned us of heresies and likened them to the dark parts of the night.
and they call him 'zabih' or 'slain for islam': he was rather slain by the righteous muslims of afghanistan. there is also a sarcastic reference to cucumber. khiyar means: the righteous; khiyar also means 'cucumber'. it is documented by the deobandis themselves (found in arwah e salasah) that when ismayil dahalwi was struck by the sword and was dying, guess what did he wish for! they report that he said:'by Allah, my heart wishes at this time to eat a cucumber.'
2. din ki taqwiyat - 'what he and his house call the strengthenging faith' a comment on his utterly deplorable and burnable book he named taqwiyatu'l iman.
mustaqim sirat e sharr - 'certainly, the straight path of mischief'; a comment on his another sordid booklet 'sirat e mustaqeem'.
in his book 'sirat e mustaqeem', he says: 'the thought of one's own bull or a donkey occuring in Salat is better than the thought of a shaykh or even RasulAllah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. because it is better to think about intercourse with one's own wife, than think about fornication'.
in his book 'taqwiyatu'l iman', he says: 'whosoever it might be [implying even messengers], they are nothing in front of Allah - they are equal to menials and cobblers in the presence of Allah'.
