Kabhi Yehan Tumhein Dhoondha Kabhi Wahan Puhancha

Sometime I searched looked for you here and sometimes I went there 
Tumhari Deed Ki Khatir Kahan Kahan Puhancha
To have your sight, glimpse I travelled everywhere known and unknown places where have not I
reached

Ghareeb Mit Gaye Pamaal Ho Gaye Lekin


Poor people got ruined vanished But

Kissi Talak Na Tera Aaj Tak Nishan Puhancha


 no one got the any lead, trace, or sign of you

Ho Bhi Nahin Aur Har Jaa Ho


You are not present yet you are everywhere 

Tum Ek Gorakh Dhandha Ho.


You are a puzzle or You are a tricky business 

Har Zarre Mein Kiss Shaan Se Tu Jalwa Numa Hai


In every atom speck with what splendor, you are present 
Hairan Hai Magar Akal Ke Kaisa Hai Tu Kya Hai
But intelligent once are surprised what you look like and what are you

Tum Ek Gorakh Dhanda Ho


You are one tricky business 
Tujhe Der-o-haram Mein Mein Ne Dhoonda Tu Nahin Milta
I looked, searched for you in temples and mosques but I could not find you 

Lekin Tujh Ko Tashreef Farman Apne Dil Me Dekha Hai


But I found you residing in my heart 

Tum Ek Gorakh Dhanda Ho


You are one tricky business 

Dhoondhay Nahin Milay Ho Na Dhoondhay Se Kabhi Tum


Searched, looked didn’t find I couldn’t find you anywhere

Aur Phir Ye Tamasha Hai Ke Jahan Hum Hain Wahin Tum Ho


But the spectacle is that where we are there you are 

Tum Ek Gorakh Dhanda Ho


You are one tricky business 

Jab Bajuz Tere Koi Doosra Maujood Nahin


When there is no one present except you
Phir Samajh Mein Nahin Aata Tera Parda Karna
Then I cannot understand why you veil yourself

Tum Ek Gorakh Dhanda Ho


You are one tricky business 

Harm O Dehr Mein Hai Jalwa-e-purfan Tera


You are visible at places of worship 

Do Gharon Ka Hai Charagh Purkh-e-raushan Tera


The places are resplendent because of your light

Tum Ek Gorakh Dhanda Ho


You are one tricky business 

Jo Ulfat Mein Tumhari Kho Gaya Hai


He who is lost in your love

Ussi Khoay Huay Ko Kuch Mila Hai


Only that lost person has found something

Na But-khanay Na Kaabay Mein Mila Hai


you could not be found in a temple or ka bah

Magar Tootay Huay Dil Mein Mila Hai


But you could be found in a broken heart

Adam Ban Kar Kahin Tu Chup Gaya Hai


After making man, you hid somewhere

Kahin Tu Hasst Ban Kar Aa Gaya Hai


Somewhere you appear as an existence

Nahin Hai Tu To Phir Inkaar Kaisa


If you are not then why deny 

Nafi Bhi Tere Honay Ka Pata Hai


Even if don’t know about your existence

Mein Jiss To Keh Raha Hoon Apni Hasti


The one I call my Existence

Agar Woh Tu Nahin To Aur Kya Hai


If that isn’t you, then what else is it?
Nahin Aaya Khayalon Mein Agar Tu
If you did not come in my thoughts

To Phir Mein Kaisay Samjha Tu Khuda Hai


Then how did I understand that you are God

Tum Ek Gorakh Dhanda Ho


You are one tricky business 

Hairan Hoon Iss Baat Pe Tum Kaun Ho Kya Ho


I am surprised astonished on point who you are, what you are

Haat Aao To Buut, Haath Naa Aao To Khuda Ho


If grasped then an Idol but if cannot grasped then you are God

Tum Ek Gorakh Dhanda Ho


You are one tricky business 

Aqal Mein Jo Ghir Gaya, La-intaha Kyonkar Hua


How did one who is surrounded by wisdom become everlasting?

Jo Samajh Mein Aa Gaya, Phir Khuda Kyonkar Hua


How did the one whom is understood become God?

Tum Ek Gorakh Dhanda Ho


You are one tricky business 

Falsafi Ko Behas Ke Andar Khuda Milta Nahin


In an argument, Philosopher doesn’t find God

Dor Ko Suljha Raha Hai Aur Sira Milta Nahin


He is trying to untangle the cord but cannot find the top 

Tum Ek Gorakh Dhanda Ho


You are one tricky business

Pata Yun To Bata Dete Ho Sab Ko La-makaan Apna


you tell everyone that you are homeless you do not stay in any home 

Taaujub Hai Magar Rehte Ho Tum Tootay Huay Dil Mein


But surprisingly you stay in a broken heart

Tum Ek Gorakh Dhanda Ho


You are one tricky business 
Jab Ke Tujh Bin Nahin Koi Maujood
When except you, no one is present 

Phir Ye Hangama Aye Khuda Kya Hai


Oh God Then why all this commotion, noise about

Tum Ek Gorakh Dhanda Ho

Chuptay Nahin Ho Saamne Aatay Nahin Ho Tum


You don’t hide, You don’t reveal show yourself

Jalwa Dikha Ke Jalwa Dikhatay Nahin Ho Tum


You show charisma, divine power but doesn’t show reveal yourself

Dehr-o-haram Ke Jhagray Mitatay Nahin Ho Tum


You don’t end the fights conflicts differences of the manner of worship

Jo Asal Baat Hai Woh Batate Nahin Ho Tum


You don’t reveal the truth, exact truth

Hairan Hoon Mere Dil Mein Samaaye Ho Kiss Tarha


I am surprised how you manage to enter and accommodate in my heart

Halanke Do Jahan Mein Samaatay Nahin Ho Tum


When two worlds cannot accommodate you 

Yeh Maabad-o-haram Ye Kaleesa-o-dehr Kyon


You are in the houses of worship religious places

Harjaai Ho Jabhi To Batatay Nahin Ho Tum


You are faithless for not showing your countenance

Tum Ek Gorakh Dhanda Ho


You are one tricky business 

Dil Pe Hairat Ne Ajab Rang Jama Rakha Hai


On my heart puzzle has taken possession with strange color

Ek Uljhi Hui Tasweer Bana Rakha Hai


It has drawn a picture, which is not clear, a confusing picture

Kuch Samajh Mein Nahin Aata Ke Ye Chakr Kya Hai


I do not understand what all this story is puzzle is 
Khel Kya Tum Ne Azal Se Ye Racha Rakha Hai
Since the beginning of time what is this game you have created and playing

Rooh Ko Jism Ke Pinjray Ka Bana Kar Kaidi


You made the soul the prisoner in the cage of body

Uss Pe Phir Maut Ka Pehra Bhi Bitha Rakha Hai


On that, you also put the guard of death on it

De Ke Tadbeer Kay Panchi Ko Uraanein Tum Ne Tam-e-takdeer Mein Har Simt Bicha Rakha Hai
You allow the bird of contrivance fly but you have spread the net of fate everywhere

Kar Ke Araaishein Konain Ki Barson Tum Ne Khatm Karne Ka Bhi Mansooba Bana Rakha Hai
For years, you adorned the world and yet you have made the plan of destruction of it 

Lamaqami Ka Baharhal Hai Daawa Bhi Tumhein Nahme Aqrab Ka Bhi Paigham Suna Rakha Hai
Though it’s said that you are homeless, still preached about home, kith and kin 

Yeh Burai, Woh Bhalai, Yeh Jahanum, Woh Bahisht


This is bad, That is good, This is hell, That is Heaven

Iss Ulat Khel Mein Farmao To Kya Rakha Hai


Please tell purpose or me what is kept in all this complexity

Jurm Adam Ne Kiya, Aur Saza Beton Ko


Father committed crime and you punish his sons 
Adam the first human committed crime and you punish his sons

Adal-o-insaaf Ka Mayyar Bhi Kya Rakha Hai


Is that the standard of your justice? 

De Ke Insaan Ko Duniya Mein Khalafat Apni


By giving the power authority to human 

Ek Tamasha Sa Zamanay Mein Bana Rakha Hai


You have made the age into a spectacle 

Apni Pehchan Ki Khatir Hai Banaya Sab Ko


For your own recognition, you created all

Sab Ki Nazron Se Magar Khud Ko Chupa Rakha Hai


But you hid yourself from the sight of everyone 

Tum Ek Gorakh Dhanda Ho


You are one tricky business 

Nit Naye Naqsh Banatay Ho Mita Dete Ho

Jaane Kis Jurm-e-tamana Ki Saza Dete Ho


I don’t know for which crime or desire you punish us 

Kabhi Kankar Ko Bana Dete Ho Heeray Ki Kani


Sometimes you turn a pebble into a diamond

Kabhi Heeron Ko Bhi Mitti Mein Mila Dete Ho   


Sometimes you turn diamonds into dust 

Jindagi Kitnay Hi Murdon Ko Ata Ki Jiss Ne


The one who gave life to many dead 

Woh Maseeha Bhi Saleebon Pe Saja Dete Ho


You made him to adorn the crucifix 

Khwahish-e-deed Jo Kar Baithe Sar-e-toor Koi


The one that longed to have your sight on the Mount Sinai 

Toor Hi Bark-e-tajalli Se Jala Dete Ho


With the lighting of manifestation, you reduced the mount to ashes 

Naar-e-namrood Mein Dalwatay Hu Khud Apna Khaleel


You wished Abraham to be thrown into Nimruds Fire

Khud Hi Phir Naar Ko Gulzaar Bana Dete Ho


Then you turned that fire into flowers yourself 

Chahe Kina Mein Phainko Kabhi Mahe In Aan

Khud Hi Lagwatay Ho Phir Kufr Ke Fatway Uss Par 


Then you yourself allow the verdicts of infidelity against him

Khud Hi Mansoor Ko Sooli Pe Charha Dete Ho


Then you yourself send the Mansoor to the crucifix

Apni Hasti Bhi Woh Ik Roz Ganwa Baithta Hai


One day he loses his life also 

Apne Darshan Ki Lagan Jis Ko Laga Dete Ho


The one whom you give the desire to see your sight

Koi Raanjha Jo Kabhi Khoj Mein Nilklay Tumkar


If a Romeo travels in your search 

Tum Ussay Jhang Ke Bele Mein Rula Deta Ho


You tie him up in a creeper of conflict 
You make him cry 

Justajoo Le Ke Tumhari Jo Chale Kais Koi


By your desire taking an expectation of you if someone begins his journey
Uss Ko Majnoon Kissi Laila Ka Bana Dete Ho
You turn him into a Romeo of some Juliet 

Jot Sassi Ke Agar Mann Mein Tumhari Jaagay   


If love for you awakens in a heart of Sassi

Tum Usse Tapte Huay Thal Mein Jala Dete Ho


You scorch her in a burning desert 

Sohni Gar Tum Ko Mahiwal Tasawwur Kar Le


If Sohni imagined you as her Mahinval 

Uss Ko Biphri Hui Lehron Mein Baha Dete Ho


You drowned her into the raging currents 

Khud Jo Chaaho To Sar-e-arsh Bula Kar Mehboob


You do as you wish by summoning to the Heaven

Ek Hi Raat Mein Mairaaj Kara Dete Ho


And in a single night, you can make the accession to Heaven

Jo Kehta Hoon Maana, Tumhein Lagta Hai Bura Sa


I accept that what I am going to say you might not like 

Phir Bhi Hai Mujhe Tum Se Baharhaal Gila Sa


But still I have a complaint to make 

Chup Chaap Rahe Dekthe Tum Arsh-e-bareen Par 


You sat quiet on your thrown while watching 

Tapte Huay Karbal Mein Muhammad Ka Nawasa


Muhammad’s grandson the scorching desert of Karbala 

Kiss Tarhe Pilata Tha Lahoo Apna Wafa Ko


How he was giving blood for his loyalists 

Khud Teen Dinon Se Wo Agarche Tha Piyasa


Though he was thirsty for three days 

Dushman To Bahar Taur Thay Dushman Magar Afsos


His enemies were after all enemies but it is sad 

Tum Ne Bhi Faraham Na Kiya Paani Zara Sa


You did not provide him with a little water 

Har Zulm Ki Taufeeq Hai Zalim Ki Wirasat


Each favor of oppression is the oppressor’s inheritance 

Mazloom Ke Hissay Mein Tassali Na Dilasa


But the oppressed is neither consoled nor comforted 

Kal Taaj Saja Dekha Tha Jiss Shakhs Ke Sar Par


Yesterday he who had a crown on his head 

Hai Aaj Ussi Shakhs Ke Hathon Mein Hikasa


Today I see him with a begging bowl 

Yeh Kya Hai Agar Poochoon To Kehte Ho Jawaban

I have heard your name, but I do not know your sign location 

Tum Ek Gorakh Dhanda Ho


You are one tricky business 

Dil Se Arman Jo Nikal Jaaye To Jugnoon Ho Jaye


Heart starts to glow once the desire leaves the heart 

Aur Aankhon Mein Simat Aaye To Aansoo Ho Jaye


When desire comes into eyes, they become tears 

Japeya Huu Ka Jo Be Huu Kare Huu Mein Kho Kar


When a person is lost in a spiritual love 

Uss Ko Sultaniyan Mil Jayen Wo Ba Huu Jo Jaye


He becomes rich like a king or like bahu

Baal Beeka Na Kissi Ka Ho Churri Ke Neeche


Not even a hair is damaged when comes under a dagger 

Halk-e-asghar Mein Kabhi Teer Tarazoo Ho Jaye


But the arrow in an infant’s throat becomes the scale of justice 

Tum Ek Gorakh Dhanda Ho


You are one tricky business 

Kiss Kadar Be-niyaz Ho Tum Bhi

Daastaan-e-daraaz Ho Tum Bhi

Aah-e-tehkeek Mein Har Gam Pe Uljhan Dekhoon


Inquiring about you causes confusion at every place 

Wohi Haalat-o-khayalat Mein An Ban Dekhoon


I see discord confusion between the ideas, thinking and circumstances 

Ban Ke Reh Jaata Hoon Tasweer Pareshani Ki


I become a picture of distress, trouble 

Ghaur Se Jab Bhi Kabhi Duniya Ka Darpan Dekhoon


Whenever I carefully examine the mirror of world 

Ek Hi Khaak Pe Fitrat Ke Tazaadat Itnay


I see so many contradictions in a single glance 

Kitnay Hisson Mein Bata Ek Hi Aangan Dekhoon


I see one place divided into so many parts 

Kahin Zehmat Ki Sulagti Hui Patjhar Ka Sama


Somewhere I see the smoke of hardship 

Kahin Rehmat Ke Baraste Huay Sawan Dekhoon


Somewhere I see the showers of blessing, raining of blessings 
Kahin Phunkaarte Darya, Kahin Khamosh Pahaar
Somewhere I see hissing rivers and there silent mountains 

Kahin Jangal, Kahin Sehra, Kahin Gulshan Dekhoon


Somewhere I see a forest, somewhere desert, somewhere garden 

Khun Rulata Hai Yeh Takseem Ka Andaaz Mujhe


This style of division makes me cry lot boils my blood 

Koi Dhanwaan Yehan Par Koi Nirdhan Dekhoon


I see someone is rich here and someone is poor 

Din Ke Haathon Mein Faqat Ek Sulagta Sooraj


I see only one Sun Shining in a day’s share 

Raat Ki Maang Sitaron Se Muzzayyan Dekhoon


While the night is bedecked with millions of stars 

Kahin Murjhaaye Huay Phool Hain Sacchai Ke


Somewhere I see withered dying flowers of truth 

Aur Kahin Jhoot Ke Kaanton Pe Bhi Joban Dekhoon


And somewhere I see the thorns of lies blooming 

Shams Ki Kaal Kahin Khichti Nazar Aati Hai


Somewhere I see Shamas skinned alive 

Kahin Sarmad Ki Uttarti Hui Gardan Dekhoon


Somewhere I see sarmads head severed 

Raat Kya Shai Hai Saweera Kya Hai


What is night? What is morning?

Yeh Ujala Yeh Andhera Kya Hai


What is this light and darkness? 
What is light? What is darkness?
