3 / 6: Faheem Gorakhpuri
is jahaan mein sab adhuure hain
mukammal kaun hai?
if you lack something,
why complain so much, faheem?
in this world, everyone is incomplete,
who is perfect?

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?

kya gharaz kyun jaayen
suu-e-kaaba-o-butkhaana hum
your love is shackled
by the prison of religion
why bother going to
mosque or temple

naam agar chahte ho
himmat-e-mardaana karo
lay down your life, 'faheem',
in the spirit of love
if you desire fame
act with fearless courage
