Last Verse of Tu Sham e Risaalat

ābād issay farma vīrāñ hai dil e noorī,

jalway teray bass jāyeiñ ābād ho vīrāña

Maulana Abdul Hamid Sahib Razawi Africi was reciting this na'at (Tu Sham e Risaalat) in the presence of Huzur Mufti e Azam Hind qaddasa sirruhu. When he recited the above verse, Hazrat stated, "Bi Hamdihi ta'ala! The heart of this faqir [needy servant] is already illuminated, now recite this as; âbâd iséy farmâ vîrâñ hai dil é Najdî."

Allamah Mufti Shah Akhtar Raza Khan Sahib suggested that the maqta [last verse] be read as follows:

sarkâr ké jalwoñ sé rawshan hai dil é Nûrî

tâ hashr rahe rawshan Nûrî kâ ye kâshânah

Hazrat [Mufti e Azam] liked it.
