(Bal-e-Jibril-177) Baghi Mureed

Baghi Mureed
Disciples In Revolt

Hum Ko To Mayassar Nahin Mitti Ka Diya Bhi
Ghar Peer Ka Bijli Ke Charaghon Se Hai Roshan

Not a rushlight for us,—in our Master’s
Fine windows electric lights blaze!

Shehri Ho, Dahati Ho, Musalman Hai Sada
Manind-e-Poojte Hain Kaabe Ke Barhman

Town or village, the Muslim’s a duffer—
To his Brahmins like idols he prays.

Nazrana Nahin, Sood Hai Peeran-e-Haram Ka
Har Kharqa-e-Saaloos Ke Andar Hai Mahajan

Not mere gifts—compound interest these saints want,
In each hair‐shirt a usurer’s dressed,

Meeras Mein Ayi Hai Inhain Masnad-e-Irshad
Zaghon Ke Tasarruf Mein Auqabon Ke Nasheman!

Who inherits his seat of authority
Like a crow in the eagle’s old nest.
