Actually we need to consider the previous shair of the poem to understand the context.

Ye Humari Saee-e-Peham Ki Karamat Hai Ke Aaj
Sufi-o-Mullah Mukuliyat Ke Bande Hain Tamam
Taba-e-Mashriq Ke Liye Mouzoon Yehi Afyoon Thi
Warna ‘Qawwali’ Se Kuch Kam Tar Nahin ‘Ilm E Kalam’

Iblees says that it is result of our efforts that sufi and Mullah who are supposed to lead Muslim Ummah have accepted the imperialism or western ideology as ruling system instead.

And, Sufi and Mullah, who are supposed to preach ‘tazkia nafs’, ‘irfaan’, Taqwa have restricted themselves to ‘sama’ ,qawala, and futile ‘manazaray’ (debates) and Masael e Ilahiat.

How sufis and Mullas are connected with imperialism? Most of the time, they are presented as opposite school of thoughts.
