naam agar chahte ho
himmat-e-mardaana karo

in the spirit of love
if you desire fame
act with fearless courage

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?

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?

hai ye ghar roshan hamin se hain
charaagh-e-khaana ham
the scars of the heart
now gleam and say
it is our light, 'faheem'
that keeps this home bright

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
