1 / 6: Syed Shahed
taqleed ke khayaal ka
qaidi hai aaj bhi
zehn ke paaon ki zanjeer jo
kaaTe vo tabar paida kar
even today, you are a
prisoner of conformity
make the axe that breaks
the shackles of your intellect

hai zeest ka maqsad kya
allah hi jaane hai
maqsad tu khud apna
bana leta to kya hota
what is the purpose of life
god only knows
but what if you figured out
your own purpose

3 / 6: Syed Shahed
shahed tu ye na bhool ke
is zindagi ka lutf
milta faqat hai
zauq-e-tajassus ke baab mein
don’t you forget, shahed,
that the pleasures of life
are found only at the doorstep
of the joy of curiosity (to learn)

4 / 6: Syed Shahed
mumkin hai tu dozakh mein
jannat mein magar bibi
us ko bhi bahattar kyun
ghilman na diya hota
it is possible you are in hell
and your wife is in heaven
why doesn’t she also get
72 handsome young men?

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

6 / 6: Syed Shahed
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
Syed Shahed (6)
complete, full
truth, faith
happy, delusional
obstruct
faith, belief
knowledge, learning
