Koi Japhay Rahim Rahim, Aur Koi Japhay hai Ram
Das Kabir hai Prem Pujarai, Donon ko Parnaam -
(the preamble that sets the tone is a verse by Kabir)
Tan Jharu, Manu Nahain pewaru, Ansooan Neer Bahaoon
Payyan Pakar, Ruthay Saiyyan ko Manaon, Tab Mein Mira kahaon
(reference to Mira's devotion to Krishna)
Torey Bin Mohe Chain Nahin, Brij Ke Nandalala
Painyaan Parun, Binati Karun, Daarun Gale Maala
Dhundhe phiri Bindrabanay mein,
Madhira mein Janam liyo, Mohan Bansilala
--------
li ham ne tere vaaste dar dar ki gadaee
aavara huey, khaak zamanay ki urdayee
masjid mein bhi mandir mein bhi ki naase asaai
Kaabey mein hamain dukh tere deedar ki layee
Butkhaane mein phonchay teri tasveer ki Khaatir
Kya Kya na Jatan ham ne kiye Yaar ki Khatir

This kalam (bhajan) by Hazir Ali Husain Saheb shows his secular love of God because it is related to devotion and not one religion or another in a typically mystical way.
trans:
I bow down to your feet,
request to you stay,
and shall garland you,
O Nanda's son from the (holy) land of brij!!
