dil KHush hua hai masjid-e-viran ko dekh kar
meri tarah KHuda ka bhi KHana KHarab hai

seeing the mosque deserted was to me a source of glee
his house too was desolate, just the same as me

hum aisi kul kitaben qabil-e-zabti samajhte hain
ki jin ko paDh ke laDke bap ko KHabti samajhte hain

we do deem all those books fit for confiscation
that sons read and think their fathe

hue is qadar mohazzab kabhi ghar ka munh na dekha
kaTi umr hoTalon mein mare aspatal ja kar

stayed away from home, on being so gentrified
spent ones life in hotels, in hospitals then died
