1 / 4: Siraj Aurangabadi
tahqeeq ki nazar se
aakhir koon ham ne dekha
aksar hain maal waale
kum hain kamaal waale
after deep scrutiny
we discovered this truth
there are many with wealth
but few with true excellence

2 / 4: Siraj Aurangabadi
waqt hai ab
namaaz-e-maghrib ka
chaand rukh, lab shafaq hai
gesu shaam
it is time for
evening prayers
moon is your face, your lips the twilight blush
your tresses the dusk

3 / 4: Siraj Aurangabadi
kahte hain teri zulf koon
dekh ahl-e-shariat
qurbaan hai is kufr par
imaan hamara
when the guardians of religion
call your hair heresy
we are ready to sacrifice our faith
at the altar of that blasphemy

4 / 4: Siraj Aurangabadi
mat karo shama koon badnaam
jalaati woh naheen
aap sin shauq patangon ko hai
jal jaane ka
don't blame the flame
for it does not burn anyone
the moths themselves
are eager to be consumed
