(Bal-e-Jibril-082) Qataa (Andaz-e-Bayan Garcha Bohat Shokh Nahin Hai)
Qataa
SESTET
Andaz-e-Byan Gharche Bohat Shaukh Nahin Hai
Shaid Ke Utar Jaye Tere Dil Mein Meri Baat
Though I have little of rhetorician’s art,
Maybe these words will sink into your heart:
Ya Wusaat-e-Aflak Mein Takbeer-e-Musalsal
Ya Khak Ke Aghosh Mein Tasbeeh-o-Munajat
A quenchless crying on God through the boundless sky—
A dusty rosary, earth‐bound litany—
Woh Mazhab-e-Mardan-e-Khud Agah-o-Khuda Mast
Ye Mazhab-e-Mullah-o-Jamadat-o-Nabataat
So worship men self‐knowing, drunk with God;
So worship priest, dead stone, and mindless clod.
