पूछ उस से कि मक़्बूल है फ़ितरत की गवाही

Ask him if the nature testifies to what is accepted,
Or if you are the master of the destination, or the lost traveler.

काफ़िर है मुसलमाँ तो न शाही न फ़क़ीरी
मोमिन है तो करता है फ़क़ीरी में भी शाही

But if he is a believer, even in asceticism, he is royal.

काफ़िर है तो शमशीर पे करता है भरोसा
मोमिन है तो बे-तेग़ भी लड़ता है सिपाही
If he is an infidel, he trusts the sword;
If he is a believer, he fights the untamed soldier.
If he is an infidel, he trusts the sword; if he is a believer, he fights like an untamed soldier.

काफ़िर है तो है ताबा-ए-तक़दीर मुसलमाँ

If he is an infidel, he is the ruin of fate, O Muslim,
But if he is a believer, then He is the divine destiny.
If he is an infidel, he is the ruin of fate for the Muslim; but if he is a believer, then He is the divine destiny.

देरीना है तेरा मरज़-ए-कोर-निगाही
I have even veiled the curtain of secrets, because your illness of the glance is so delayed.
