zahid sharab piine de masjid men baith kar ya vo jagah bata de jahan par khuda na ho

priest i know this is a mosque, let me drink inside or point me to a place where god does not reside

you heap these sorrows onto me, why for other's sake? for someone else, needlessly this blame why do you take?

khada huun aaj bhi roti ke chaar harf liye saval ye hai kitabon ne kya diya mujh ko

kyuun parakhte ho savalon se javabon ko 'adim' hont achchhe hon to samjho ki saval achchha hai

zindagi ik saval hai jis ka javab maut hai maut bhi ik saval hai jis ka javab kuchh nahin

dil se aati hai baat lab pe 'hafiz' baat dil men kahan se aati hai

saval kar ke main khud hi bahut pasheman huun javab de ke mujhe aur sharmsar na kar

kya vo namrud ki khudai thi bandagi men mira bhala na hua

pattharo aaj mire sar pe baraste kyuun ho main ne tum ko bhi kabhi apna khuda rakkha hai

saval ye hai ki aapas men ham milen kaise hamesha saath to chalte hain do kinare bhi

sar-e-mahshar yahi puchhunga khuda se pahle tu ne roka bhi tha bande ko khata se pahle

translation on the judgement day, i’ll enquire this from god, before he commited crime, any criminal did you stop? sagar akbarabadi

vo the javab ke sahil pe muntazir lekin samay ki naav men mera saval duub gaya

ji chahta hai phir koi tujh se karun saval teri nahin nahin ne ghhazab ka maza diya

javab aae na aae saval utha to sahi phir is saval men pahlu nae saval ke rakh

na mangiye jo khuda se to mangiye kis se jo de raha hai usi se saval hota hai

is se behtar javab kya hoga kho gaya vo mire savalon men

bahut si baten zaban se kahi nahin jatin saval kar ke use dekhna zaruri hai

javab soch ke vo dil men muskurate hain abhi zaban pe meri saval bhi to na tha

jo chahiye so mangiye allah se 'amir' us dar pe aabru nahin jaati saval se

ham kya karen saval ye socha nahin abhi vo kya javab denge ye dhadka abhi se hai

dost har aib chhupa lete hain koi dushman bhi tira hai ki nahin

saval kar ke main khud hi bahut pasheman huun javab de ke mujhe aur sharmsar na kar

kabhi kabhi to ye dil men saval uthta hai ki is judai men kya us ne pa liya hoga
