مسلمانان بہ خویشان در ستیزند
English title: The Moslems are fighting with brothers own,
مسلمانان بہ خویشان در ستیزندبجز نقش دوئے بر دل نریزند
The Moslems are fighting with brothers own, Save seeds of rupture nothing they have sown.
آج کس مسلمان اپنوں سے لڑنے والا ہے ۔ وہ اپنے دل پر دوئی (فرقہ پرستی) کے نقش کے سوا کچھ نہیں بنا رہے ۔
بنالند از کسی خشتی بگیرداز آن مسجد کہ خود از وی گریزند
If you take a brick they raise cry and hue, A mosque from which they are fleeing all through.
ان کی حالت یہ ہے کہ اگر کوئی شخص (غیر مسلم) ان کی بنیاد (مسجد) کی کچی اینٹ بھی اکھاڑتا ہے تو اسے پکڑ لیتے ہیں ۔ باوجودیکہ وہ خود اس مسجد سے بھاگنے والے ہیں ۔
