*******************************************************************
Saamnay hai jo usay log bura kehtay hain,
Jisko dekha hi nahin usko khuda kehtay hain !

[Who is in front of one's eyes, people call bad things about him,
And whom nobody has ever seen, they call him God !]

Faasiley umar kay kuch aur bada deti hai,
Jaaney kyon log usey phir bhi dava kehtay hain !

[It extends the gaps in life,
For whatever reason people still call it the medicine !]

Chand masoom say paton ka lahoo hai `Fakir',
Jisko mahboob kay hathon ki heena kehtay hain !

[It is the blood of some innocent leaves, 'Fakir',
Whom they call it the Henna (Mehandi) of beloved's hands !]

Saamnay hai jo usay log bura kehtay hain,
Jisko dekha hi nahin usko khuda kehtay hain !
