دو ہی دن میں یہ صنم ہوش ربا ہوتے ہیں
کل کے ترشے ہوئے بت آج خدا ہوتے ہیں
– لالہ مادھو رام جوہر –
Do hii din meiN ye sanam hosh-rubaa hote haiN
ka ke tarshe hue but aaj khuda hote haiN
– Lala Madhav Ram Jauhar
दो ही दिन में ये सनम होश-रुबा होते हैं
कल के तर्शे हुए बुत आज ख़ुदा होते हैं
– लाला माधव राम जौहर

In mere two days, these stone idols dazzle us and become very dear
carved only yesterday, they then turn into the Gods we revere
