Original text

Noore-Rasulillah-s‚ bane‚ ho Aga Khan,
Shah Karim Aga Khan, tu ho Sahibuz-Zaman;

Mushkil Kusha-ke pyare, Jannat-‚-Khatun-ke tare.
Hasan Husayn-ke sare, Noor-se ho khandan;

Panj-Tan ke ho sartaj, Kayam hat tera raj,
Juga juga jive tunm-ji sham, Muridon hat sab tere gulam,
Sar juka karie hat salam.
