janaab-e-shaikh ka naqsh-e-qadam

here the mosque, there the tavern
how odd indeed
the footprints of the holy man
are seen here and there too

kuchh khuda ke qahr kuchh inaam
ki baaten karein
the cleric and the priest
talk of their faiths
talking of god's wrath
and sometimes of divine favor

sab kuchh bashar ki dil mein hai
aye shaikh, kya naheen?
no memory of idols
nor any thought of god
all is within the human heart
what is not there, o preacher?
