Subject: Sajda: Jo Bhi Bura Bhala Hai Allah Janta Hai

Hi

Hope you have been enjoying Sajda, as I have been in bringing it to you. On
to Sajda Number 7, from Akhtar.

Poet : Akhtar

1. jo bhi bura bhala hai allah janta hai
bande ke dil mein kya hai allah janta hai

[Whatever is good or bad, Allah knows about it
Whatever is there in a person's heart, Allah knows about it]

2. yeh farsh-o-arsh kya hai allah janta hai
pardon mein kya chhupa hai allah janta hai

[What is this earth & sky(all about), Allah knows about it
What is hidden behind the curtains, Allah knows about it]

3. jaakar jahaan se koi wapas nahin hai aata
woh kaunsi jagah hai allah janta hai

[Where a person goes and never comes back
What place is that, Allah knows about it]

4. neki-badi ko apni kitna hi tu chupaye
allah ko sab pata hai allah janta hai

[How much ever you hide your virtues and vices
Allah knows everything, Allah knows about it]

5. yeh dhoop chaon dekho yeh subah-o-shaam dekho
sab kyon yeh ho raha hai allah janta hai

[Look at this sunshine and shade, look at this morning and evening
Why is all this happening, Allah knows about it]

6. kismat ke naam ko to sab jante hain lekin
kismat mein kya likha hai allah janta hai

[Everyone knows what fate is all about, but
What is written in (our) fate, Allah knows about it]

Dictionary : bande - person; farsh-o-arsh - earth & sky; neki-badi - virtue & vice
