1/10: yaqeen

koi to shehar-e-tazabzub ke

saakinon se kahe

na ho yaqeen to phir

mojza na maange koi

go tell the dwellers of

this city of skepticism

those who don't believe

shouldn't expect miracles either

Theme:Religion, Reason & Tradition (48)

2/10: yaqeen

jahaan par sarhaden

dair-o-haram ki khatm hoti hain

wahin par noor-e-imaan hai

wahin raah-e-yaqeen nikli

where the borders of

temples and mosques end

radiance of belief shines forth

the road to conviction begins

Theme:Religion, Reason & Tradition (48)

3/10: yaqeen

ghalat thay vaade

magar main yaqeen rakhta tha

woh shakhs lahja

bahut dil-nasheen rakhta tha

the promises were false

yet, i believed in them

that person possessed

a voice so enchanting

Theme:Voice, Expression & Language (61)

4/10: yaqeen

na koyi vaada, na koyi yaqeen

na koyi ummeed

magar humein to

tera intezaar karna tha

no promise, no assurance

no hope

yet, i had to

keep waiting for you

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

5/10: yaqeen

vaaye khush-fahmi ki

parvaaz-e-yaqeen se bhi gaye

aasmaan chuune ki khwaahish mein

zameen se bhi gaye

alas, our delusion soared

beyond the flight of reality

in the desire to kiss the sky

we lost touch with the ground

Theme:Hopes, Aspirations & Dreams (33)

6/10: yaqeen

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

7/10: yaqeen

yaqeen mohkam, amal paiham

mohabbat fateh-e-alam

jihad-e-zindagani mein

hai ye mardon ki shamsheerain

firm principles, relentless action,

love that conquers the world

in the battle of life

these are the swords of the warrior

Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)

8/10: yaqeen

dekhna un ki gavaahi pe

yaqeen mat karna

aye jahaan sun le abhi

mera bayaan baaqi hai

don't place faith

in his testimony

for my statement

is yet to be heard

Theme:Voice, Expression & Language (61)

9/10: yaqeen

andhe kuen mein baandh ke

rakkha yaqeen hai

haan tera yaqeen, tera yaqeen,

tera yaqeen hai

your faith has confined you

to a deep, dark well

yes, your faith, your faith it is

indeed your faith

Theme:Religion, Reason & Tradition (48)

10/10: yaqeen

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
