1/14: khuda

go haram ke raaste se

woh pahunch gaye khuda tak

teri raahguzar se jaate to

kuchh aur baat hoti

though he found god

through the holy places

had he taken your path, it would've

turned out a different story

Theme:Religion, Reason & Tradition (48)

2/14: khuda

gunahgaaron mein shaamil hain

gunahon se naheen waaqif

saza ko jaante hain hum

khuda jaane khataa kya hai

we are counted among the sinners

not aware what the sins are

we know what the punishment is

god only knows what the crime is

Theme:Friends, Family & Community (108)

3/14: khuda

yeh nanhi si jaan

yeh nanhi si muskurahat

khuda ki rehmat hai

khuda ki inaayat hai

this tiny life

this hint of a smile

is god's mercy

and the gift of providence

Theme:Friends, Family & Community (108)

4/14: khuda

aankhen khuda ne di hain

to dekhenge husn-e-yaar

kab tak naqaab

rukh se uthaayi na jaayegi

god has given us eyes

to view the beauty of the beloved

how long will the veil

not be lifted from the face

Theme:Beauty, Charm & Union (84)

5/14: khuda

tum se pahle wo jo ek shakhs

yahan takht-nasheen tha

us ko bhi apne khuda hone pe

itna hi yaqeen tha

before you another man

was the ruling king here

who was just as convinced

that he was god himself

6/14: khuda

rahne de

apni bandagi, zahid

be-mohabbat

khuda nahin milta

keep your worship to yourself

o priest

without love

god can’t be got

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

7/14: khuda

begaangi-e-khalq se

bedil na ho, ghalib

koyi nahi tera, to meri jaan,

khuda hai

with people’s indifference

don’t be dismayed, ghalib

if in the world you have none,

so be it, there is god for you

Theme:Religion, Reason & Tradition (48)

8/14: khuda

khuda tujhe kisi

toofan se aashna kar de

ki tere bahr ki maujon

mein izteraab naheen

may god familiarize

you with some storms

the waves of your sea

seem a little too calm

Theme:Grit, Resilience & Courage (36)

9/14: khuda

jo bhi de de vo karam se

vahi le le 'naadir'

munh se maango to

khuda aur khafa hota hai

whatever is given to you in kindness

you accept jus that ‘naadir’

if you were to ask for more

god will get even more angry

Theme:Religion, Reason & Tradition (48)

10/14: khuda

wo waqt guzar gaya

jab mujhe teri aarzoo thi

ab tu khuda bhi ban jaaye to

main sajda na karoon

that time has passed

when i pined for you

now, even if you become god

i will not bow to you

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)

11/14: khuda

aashiqi se

milegaa, aye zaahid

bandagi se

khuda nahin milta

through love,

you will find, o priest

through worship,

you won't find god

Theme:Religion, Reason & Tradition (48)

12/14: khuda

zaahid, sharaab peene de

masjid mein baith kar

ya wo jagah bata de

jahaan par khuda na ho

oh priest, allow me to drink

sitting here in the mosque

or, show me a place

where there is no god

Theme:Religion, Reason & Tradition (48)

13/14: khuda

gham mujhe, hasrat mujhe

vahshat mujhe, saudaa mujhe

ek dil de kar khuda ne

de diya kya kya mujhe

sorrow, unfulfilled desires

craziness, passion, and frenzy

by giving me a heart, o god,

what all have you set me up with?

Theme:Heart, Mind & Memory (58)

14/14: khuda

har ek daur ka mazhab

naya khuda laaya

karen to hum bhi magar

kis khuda ki baat karen

each era brought in

a new religion, a new god

if we were to chat

about which god shall we talk?
