O Zafar, honor both the Panjtan (the Holy Five) and the Char Yaar (the Four Companions), for indeed these are the principal leaders of the assembly of the faith.

In this evocative couplet, Bahadur Shah Zafar offers a warm call for harmony and inclusive devotion. He counsels his own heart to revere both the 'Panj-Tan' (the blessed Prophet and his household) and the 'Char-Yar' (the four rightly-guided Caliphs) without falling into division. By portraying the gathering of faith as being presided over by these revered figures together, Zafar beautifully reminds us that true spirituality lies in loving reverence, not sectarian rivalry.
