Romanised Urdu (original version)
Ta abad khaliq-e-alam ye riyasat rakhay,
Tujh ko Osman basad ijlal salamat rakhay.
Jaise tu fakhr-e-salateen hai bafazal yazdan,
Yun hi mumtaz tera daur-e-hukumat rakhay.
Al o aulad ko allah de umr-e-khizri,
Unse abad tera khana-e-daulat rakhay.
Jod-e-Hatim rahe sharminda-e-ahsan tera,
Adl-e-khusrau ko khijal teri adalat rakhey.
Khandazan surat-e-gul tere hawa kha rahen,
Ake qadmo pe adu farkh ita’at rakhey.
Ban ke saqi tere Iqbal Nizam-e-sabay,
Tujh ko sahba kash khumkhana ishrat rakhay.
English version
May the creator bless the kingdom till eternity, And O! Osman, keep you sound and healthy.
And make you live with dignity for a hundred years, By the grace of God you are the pride of rulers.
May the Almighty keep your rule illustrious, May God grant long life like khizr to your children.
And maintain the continuity of your noble descent, May the proverbial Hatim’s charity pale before yours.
May your sense of justice surpass even that of Khusro, May your wellwishers glow like the full blown flowers.
And your enemies acknowledge your superior prowess, O! Osman, make your tavern an abode of joy and ecstasy.
