1/3: ilm

kya tujhe ilm nahin

teri razaa ki khaatir

maine kis kis ko zamaane mein

khafa rakha hai

don't you know

for the sake of your pleasure

how many in this world

have i upset and alienated

2/3: ilm

dard ko dil mein

de jagah, shaayar

ilm se shayari

nahi hoti

find a place for pain

in your heart, o poet

no poetry comes

from just knowledge

3/3: ilm

kaamil tera hi haq

tu magan is khushi mein hai

haa’el yaqeen ilm mein ho

mujh ko Dar ye hai

you revel in the thought

that only your faith is perfect

but my fear is that this stands

in the way of your learning
