مسجد قرطبہ

کافر ہندی ہوں میں، دیکھ مرا ذوق و شوقدل میں صلوہ و درود، لب پہ صلوہ و درود

English translation

An Indian infidel, perchance, am I; but look at my fervour, my ardour. ‘Blessings and peace upon the Prophet,’ sings my heart. ‘Blessings and peace upon the Prophet,’ echo my lips.

Translated by Naim Siddiqui
