1/3: fahm

hai fahm us ka jo

har insaan ke dil ki zubaan samjhe

sukhan wo hai jise

har shakhs apna hi bayaan samjhe

her/his understanding relates to

the language of every heart

and the speech is such that

we all feel it is our own voice

2/3: fahm

zulm aur jahl pe

israar karoge kab tak

aql or fahm se

paekaar karoge kab tak

how long will you persist with

this injustice and ignorance

how long will you procrastinate…

relying on reason and understanding

3/3: fahm

masjid mein bulaate hain

hamein zaahid-e-na-fahm

hota kuch agar hosh to

maikhaane na jaate

the foolish preacher

invites me into the mosque

if i have any sense, won’t i

find my way to the taverns?
