PADH PADH KE GAYA PATHER
LIK LIKH KE GAYA CHORE

READING READING YOU BECAME STONE
WRITING WRITING YOU BECAME FOOL
JIS PADNE SE SAHIB MILEY
WOH PADNA HAI AUR
THAT READING WHICH GOD MEET
THAT READING IS DIFFERENT
Too much study has turned you to stone
And scholarly writing has dulled your mind
The only study that makes the God known
Is altogether of a different kind
Wadath Dophtham Tae Gaes Karun
Tath Ma South Kens Tour
Zaed mashid Hund Baekel Zonthas
Nath Shaat Gamauk Chour
Kaed Kharchevtav Gaed Tour Waeta
Warmul cha Handwor
Jis Padne Se Sahib Mile
Woh Padna Hai Aur
Jis Padne Se Khuda Mile
Woh Padna Hai Aur
