مسلمانی کہ در بند فرنگ است
English title: A Muslim tied up with a foreign land,
مسلمانی کہ در بند فرنگ استدلش در دست او آسان نیاید
A Muslim in bondage to Europe: his heart does not yield to Him so easily;
وہ مسلمان جو یورپ والوں کی قید میں ہے اسکا دل آسانی سے اسکے ہاتھ نہیں آ سکتا ۔
ز سیمائی کہ سودم بر در غیرسجود بوذر و سلمان نیاید
from the forehead that bows before other‐ than‐God you cannot expect prostrations of Bu Dharr and Salman.
اس پیشانی سے جسے میں اللہ کے سوا غیر کے دروازے پر رگڑتا ہوں ۔ حضرت ابوذر غفاری اور حضرت سلمان فارسی کے سجدے ادا نہیں کیے جا سکتے ۔
