nā jaane sāhab kaisā hai
mullā ho kar baañg jo deve
kyā terā sāhab bahrā hai
kiiḌī ke pag ne.ur baaje
so bhī sāhab suntā hai
maalā pherī tilak lagāyā
lambā jaTā baḌhātā hai
antar tere kuphar-kaTārī
yo nahi sāhab miltā hai
I do not know what manner of God is mine.
The Mullah cries aloud to Him: and why? Is your Lord deaf? The subtle anklets that ring on the feet of an insect when it moves are heard of Him.
Tell your beads, paint your forehead with the mark of your God, and wear matted locks long and showy: but a deadly weapon is in your heart, and how shall you have God?

mulla ho kar bang jo dewe
kya tera sahab bahra hai
kiDi ke pag neur baje
so bhi sahab sunta hai
mala pheri tilak lagaya
lamba jaTa baDhata hai
antar tere kuphar-kaTari
yo nahi sahab milta hai
