Now naught remains in Muslim's breast, his heart devoid of glint and glow: He avowed with zeal 'No God but He', but dead and cold the zeal for show.

The Muslim's state has so declined that Nature fails to know at sight, because the slavish acts of Ayaz have put Mahmud's high rank in plight.

You have withstood the ruin of Time and kept your ground as firm as rock. Constraint has turned the Muslims weak; you put them all to shame and shock.

The worship of such Muslims suits your structure immense and so vast, who with one breath that God is Great; found truth and lies away are cast.

The Muslim's breast is quite bereft of previous heat and ardour strong; his blessings, worship are devoid of innate heat and fret since long.

His call to prayer is devoid of lofty tones and grandeur great; O God, let this be known to him, will you let him 'fore you prostrate?
