Jise gandum ka ek daana hazm na hota ho

Urdu

Jise gandum ka ek daana hazm na hota ho
Who naan ki baat na karey to kya karey
Paani meiN rahna mach-liyoN ka kaam hai
SaaNp ghabra ker bahar na aye to kya karey
Jiska na ho koi mad-dah o dadrasah
Ta-an apni dhol na bajaye to kya karey
Jiska dil ho sokhta, ser para para
Woh khaak na uraye to kya karey!

English
Who could’nt digest a grain of wheat
Why would'nt he talk of pastries and cakes
Water is an abode of fishes
Why would’nt smothered snakes escape
Who could’nt have a cheer of praise
Why would’nt he beat his drums one to make
Head in shreds, heart burnt to dust
Why would’nt he raise storms in his wake!
