The Muslims have been charmed
By spell that Franks have cast
Hence eyes of this Qalender
Shed tears much hot and fast.

May God preserve and guard
Your state and lofty ranks!
You have slaughtered the Self
For ranks conferred by Franks.

Though man may try his best,
Yet he can't hide the fact
This point is known to all
Who own a bit of tact.

They don't consort with slaves
In case of rule and might
They buy the wit of serfs
To gain the ends, in sight.
