1 / 7: Yagana Changezi
sochta huun magar
keh na paata kuch bhi
dil ki baat labon tak
laana bhi mushkil hai
i think and think
but can't get myself to speak
the heart's matters
lose their their way to the lips

khuda hi jaane 'yagana'
main kaun huun kya huun
khud apni zaat pe shak
dil mein aaye hain kya kya
only god knows, yagana,
who i am and what i am
many doubts have crept into my heart
about my very self

vaaiz ki aankhen khul gayi
peete hi, saaqiya
ye jaam-e-mai tha ya koyi
dariya-e-noor tha?
soon as he sipped the wine, o cup-bearer,
the preacher was awakened
was that a goblet of wine, or
radiant river of light?

jaise dozakh ki hava kha ke
abhi aaya ho
kis qadar vaaiz-e-makkaar
Daraata hai mujhe
as if he has just come
breathing the air of hell
how deceitful is this cunning preacher
trying to frighten me

sab tere siva kaafir
aakhir is ka matlab kya
sar phira de insaan ka
aisa khabt-e-mazhab kya
all but you are infidels?
what does that even mean?
what kind of religious madness
turns a human into a lunatic?

ilm kya
ilm ki haqeeqat kya
jaise jis ke
gumaan mein aaye
what is knowledge
what is its truth?
it is what each person
imagines it to be

dard ho to dawa bhi
mumkin hai
vahm ke
kya dawa kare koyi?
for true pain
remedy exists
but what cure
for mere suspicion?
