Hans Rahe The Tamam Log Mere Qatl Ke Baad Jaane Kye Soch Ke Ro Raha Tha Mera Qatil Meri Laash Ke Paas

Hans Rahe The Tamam Log Mere Qatl Ke Baad
Jaane Kye Soch Ke Ro Raha Tha Mera Qatil Meri Laash Ke Paas

خشت بت خانہ سے تعمیر ہوا ہے کعبہ

ایسے دیرینہ تعلق کو مٹاتے کیوں ہو

The Holy Kaaba was built from an idol house.

Why do you erase such a long-standing relationship?

آگ مسجد میں لگی تو جلے گا مندر

یہ سمجھتے ہو تو پھر آگ لگاتے کیوں ہوں

If fire breaks out in mosque, temple will burn

If you understand this, then why do you set fire?

ایک ہی خاک سے انسان ہوئے ہیں پیدا

ایک ہی خون ہے پھر خون بہاتے کیوں ہوں

Man has been born out of the same dust/soil.

There is only one blood, then why do you shed blood?

تم تو کہتے تھے کہ ہموار ہے سطح دریا

اب سفینوں کو تلام سے بچاتے کیوں ہوں

You used to say that the surface of the river is smooth
Now why do you protect vessels from the storm or high tide?

آگ مسجد میں لگی تو جلے گا مندر

یہ سمجھتے ہو تو پھر آگ لگاتے کیوں ہوں

If fire breaks out in mosque, temple will burn

If you understand this, then why do you set fire?

Everyone was laughing at my murder
But my murderer was crying nearby my Corpse
