sab ki nazron mein ho saqi ye zaruri hai magar
sab pe saqi ki nazar ho ye zaruri to nahin
Each person surely seeks her favour, but
Each person be in her intent, it need not be

shaiKH karta to hai masjid mein KHuda ko sajde
us ke sajdon mein asar ho ye zaruri to nahin

That to his pleading God consent, it need not be

aaj nagah hum kisi se mile
baad muddat ke zindagi se mile
today I chanced on someone unexpectedly
it was after ages life was face to face with me

had se baDhe jo ilm to hai jahl dosto
sab kuchh jo jaante hain wo kuchh jaante nahin
knowledge, friends, is poisonous, if its in excess
those who, say, know everything, no knowledge do possess

hairat hai tum ko dekh ke masjid mein ai 'KHumar'
kya baat ho gai jo KHuda yaad aa gaya
to see you in the mosque KHumaar, is rather strange and odd
what calamity occurred that now you think of God?
Khumar Barabankavi
hum bhi kar len jo raushni ghar mein
phir andhere kahan qayam karen
if I light up my house then say
where will this darkness go and stay

ek guzarish hai hazrat-e-naseh
aap ab aur koi kaam karen
O preacher just one supplication
please find an alternate vocation
