1 / 6: Faheem Gorakhpuri
daagh-e-dil chamak kar
ab ye kehte hain, 'faheem'
hai ye ghar roshan hamin se hain
charaagh-e-khaana ham
the scars of the heart
now gleam and say
it is our light, 'faheem'
that keeps this home bright

qaid-e-mazhab se tere
paaband-e-ulfat hain bari
kya gharaz kyun jaayen
suu-e-kaaba-o-butkhaana hum
your love is shackled
by the prison of religion
why bother, why should we go
to the mosque or the temple

ik main hoon apne dil mein
tujhe dekhta huun roz
ik tu hai muD ke
meri taraf dekhta naheen
i alone see you
in my heart every day
you never once
turn my way

yaad-e-butaan naheen ke
khayaal-e-khuda naheen
sab kuchh bashar ki dil mein hai
aye shaikh, kya nahin?
no memory of idols
nor any thought of god
all is within the human heart
what is not there, o preacher?

jaan se apni guzar jaao
mohabbat mein, 'faheem'
naam agar chahte ho
himmat-e-mardaana karo
lay down your life, 'faheem'
in the spirit of love
if you desire fame
act with fearless courage

rah gayi hai kuch kami to
kya shikaayat hai 'faheem'?
is jahaan mein sab adhuure hain
mukammal kaun hai?
if you are lacking something
why complain so much, faheem?
in this world, everyone is partly done
who is ever fully complete?
