Ek kadam mein kai saal jo guzre hai,
{In a step many years have gone by}
kai roz kai mah yu hi behisaab bikhre hai
{many days , many months have been scattered without any count}
Woh kehte hai kar lo samjhauta girte ret se aksar
{They say to compromise with falling sand many times}
himmat saraab hai jo mit jaayegi sehra mein dab kar
{Courage is a mirage which will get buried in the desert}
Na hi ilm hai unhe khwahisho ka, na hi tammanao ka sabab
{Neither they have the knowledge of dreams, nor the cause of desires}
Nahi jaante hai woh harkat shab-o-roz ka, na hi waqt ki fitrat ka samajh
{Neither they know about the movement of night and day, nor they understand the nature of time}
Mera raqeeb mere dua mein pal pal kahe
” migozarad!”
{My watcher (almighty) says in my prayer
“It will pass!”}
