ibn-e-mariyam hua kare koi
mere dukh ki dawa kare koi

let anyone the son of mary be
how will i know till i find remedy

shara o aain par madar sahi
aise qatil ka kya kare koi

when sanctioned by laws of divinity
for such a killer what can one decree?

chaal jaise kadi kaman ka tir
dil mein aise ke ja kare koi

like an arrow drawn her graceful gait
in this heart embedded directly

baat par wan zaban katti hai
wo kahen aur suna kare koi

my every word she contradicts alas
if i could, but, speak and she agree

bak raha hun junun mein kya kya kuchh
kuchh na samjhe khuda kare koi

lord i pray that no one comprehends
all that i rant and rave in ecstasy

na suno gar bura kahe koi
na kaho gar bura kare koi

if someone speaks ill pay no heed
stay silent if behave they sinfully

rok lo gar ghalat chale koi
bakhsh do gar khata kare koi

stop them if they step misguidedly
forgive them if they act mistakenly

kaun hai jo nahin hai hajat-mand
kis ki hajat rawa kare koi

is there anyone who's not in need?
then to whom does one do charity?

kya kiya khizr ne sikandar se
ab kise rahnuma kare koi

what did khizr for alexander do?
for guidance then who shall i go and see?

jab tawaqqoa hi uth gai 'ghaalib'
kyun kisi ka gila kare koi

when no expectations remain
why complain of adversity?
