کچھ بلا اور کچھ ستم ہی سہی

So what if there is a little trouble and little cruelty

So what if in love, there is separation from the beloved

He can bestow happiness on whoever he wants

So what if he has apportioned sorrows for me

How desolate is truthfulness too

For the gallows today there is only me

I must bow my head in worship, once here

So what if it isn't a temple but the Kaaba

Look at my self-respect even in love

So what if I have my head axed for not bowing

The savour and mercy of life is so

So what if it is so less, so it is
