The 36-year-old, who smashed twin hundreds in the first Test, notched 111 not out for his 27th century to help Pakistan close the opening day on a solid footing of 304-2 after they won the toss and batted on a flat Sheikh Zayed Stadium pitch.
The other unbeaten batsman was Azhar Ali on 101.
Pakistan lost openers Ahmed Shehzad (35) and Mohammad Hafeez (45) in the two sessions.
Pakistan, leading the two-match series 1-0, remained unchanged from the side which won the first Test by a big 221-run margin in Dubai.
Australia, seeking to avoid their first series defeat against Pakistan since 1994, made two changes with Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Starc replacing Steve O'Keefe and Alex Doolan.
