ROZ EK SHER

दहर की तहक़ीर कर इतनी न ऐ शेखे-हरम
आज काबा बन गया कल तक यही बुतखाना था
-अमीर मीनाई

dahar ki tahqiir kar itnii na ai sheikhe-haram
aaj kaabaa ban gayaa, kal tak yahii butkhaanaa thaa
-Amir Minai

Do not underestimate the power of time so much, o Sheikh
Until yesterday, a temple stood where Kaba stands today
