فرنگی را دلی زیر نگین نیستمتاع او ہمہ ملک است دین نیست
The Westerner’s heart is not subject to discipline, his asset is all land, not deen;
خداوندی کہ در طوف حریمشصد ابلیس است و یک روح الامین نیست
my Lord, in the circumambulations of this sanctuary there are a hundred Iblises, not a single Gabriel.
