Mahmud-o-Ayaz

Aa gaya ayn ladaai mein agar waqt-e-namaz, 
Qibla rukh hoke zameen-bos hui qawm-e-hijaz
Ek hi saff mein khade ho gaye Mahmud-o-Ayaz, 
Na koi banda raha awr na koi banda-nawaz.

In the midst of fighting when came the time for prayer
The people of Hijaz turned to the Ka'ba and fell on their faces.
In one line stood king (Mahmud) and servant (Ayaz) 
neither of them a slave or master.
