رہ و رسم حرم نا محرمانہ
English title: Estranging are the ways in the holy precinct
رہ و رسم حرم نا محرمانہکليسا کي ادا سوداگرانہ
تبرک ہے مرا پيراہن چاکنہيں اہل جنوں کا يہ زمانہ
The rituals of the Sanctuary unsanctified! The Church commercialized. My torn apparel aught to be valued much, for madness has become rare these days!
