Teri Namaz Be Suroor
Tera Imam Be Huzoor, Teri Namaz Be Suroor
Aesi Namaz Se Guzr, Aese Imam Se Guzr
Your imam is unabsorbed, Your prayer is uninspired,
Forsake an imam like him, forsake a prayer like this
Aesi Namaz Se Guzr, Aese Imam Se Guzr

Badal Ke Bhais Phir Ate Hain Har Zamane Mein
Agarche Peer Hai Adam, Jawan Hai Laat-e-Manaat
In different garbs and various masks the idols reappear in every age:
They e’er retain their youth and gloss though man has grown old on this stage.

Ye Aik Sajda Jise Tu Garan Samajhta Hai
Hazar Sajde Se Deta Hai Admi Ko Nijat!
Prostration ’fore God you presume as irksome, tedious, burden great;
But mind, this homage sets you free from bonds of men, of might who prate!

Kaha Mujahid-e-Turki Ne Mujh Se Baad-e-Namaz
Taweel Sajda Hain Kyun Iss Qadar Tumhare Imam
‘Why do your priests,’ said to me after prayers
A Turkish hero of the faith, ‘drag out their genuflexions so?’

Woh Saada Mard-e-Mujahid, Woh Momin-e-Azad
Khabar Na Thi Use Kya Cheez Hai Namaz-e-Ghulam
—He little knew, that free‐born Muslim, that plain warrior,
What kind of thing slaves’ prayers are!

Hazar Kaam Hain Mardan-e-Hur Ko Dunya Mein
Inhi Ke Zauq-e-Amal Se Hain Ummaton Ke Nazam
In this world a thousand tasks lie ready for the free,
In whom the love of high deeds burns and forges the nations and their laws;

Badan Ghulam Ka Souz-e-Amal Se Hai Mehroom
Ke Hai Muroor Ghulamon Ke Roz-o-Shab Pe Haram
But that fire never touches the bondman’s limbs,
whose nights and days stand still under an interdict.

Taweel Sajda Agar Hain To Kya Ta’ajjub Hai
Waraye Sajda Ghareebon Ko Aur Kya Hai Kaam
If our prostrations are long‐drawn, why should you wonder?
What other work is there for the poor except for prostration (praying)?

Khuda Naseeb Kare Hind Ke Imamon Ko
Woh Sajda Jis Mein Hai Millat Ki Zindagi Ka Payam!
—God teach His ministers in India
A way of worship that shall be to all his people an evangel of new life!
