ROZ EK SHER

काफ़िर-ए-इश्क़ं मुसलमानी मरा दरकार नीस्त
हर रग-ए-मन तारगश्ता हाजत-ए-ज़ुन्नार नीस्त
-अमीर ख़ुसरो

kaafir-e ishqam Musalmaanii maraa darkaar niist
har rag-e man taargashtaa haajat-e zunnaar niist
-Amir Khusro

I'm a faithless Love-worshipper, I don't need the Muslim faith
Every vein of my body is stretched taut, I don't need a sacred thread
