خدا کے فضل سے ہم پر ہے سایہ غوثِ اعظم کا     ہمیں دونوں جہاں میں ہے سہارا غوثِ اعظم کا

بَلِیَّات و غم و اَفکار کیوں کر گھیر سکتے ہیں            سروں پر نام لیووں کے ہے پنجہ غوثِ اعظم کا

مُخالِف کیا کرے میرا کہ ہے بیحد کرم مجھ پر        خدا کا، رَحْمَۃٌ  لِّلْعٰلَمِیْں کا غوثِ اعظم کا

الله کی رحمت           غوثِ پاک

ہو ہم پہ عنایت          غوثِ پاک

ہیں باعثِ برکت       غوثِ پاک

کمزور کی طاقت          غوثِ پاک

مرحبا یا غوثِ پاک      مرحبا یا غوثِ پاک     مرحبا یا غوثِ پاک
