Ghazal: Qataa - A Piece

Andaz-e-Byan Gharche Bohat Shaukh Nahin Hai
Shayad Ke Utar Jaye Tere Dil Mein Meri Baat



Though my art of speech isn't so witty
Maybe my words will sink into your heart



Ya Wusaat-e-Aflak Mein Takbeer-e-Musalsal
Ya Khak Ke Aghosh Mein Tasbeeh-o-Munajat


Or continuous crying on God's greatness through the boundless sky
Or chanting Your name, embraced by the soil



Woh Mazhab-e-Mardan-e-Khud Agah-o-Khuda Mast
Ye Mazhab-e-Mullah-o-Jamadat-o-Nabataat


That is the religion of man who is of self-conscious and intoxicated with God.
This is the religion of mullas and the non living and the (plants) living.
