Allah Ke Bandhe…

Toota toota ek parinda aise toota,
Ke phir jud na paaya,
Loota loota kis ne usko aise loota,
Ke phir ud na paaya
{A dove was broken,
Such that he couldn’t heal again,
Someone looted him,
Such that he could not fly again.}

Girta hua woh aasmaan se,
Aakar gira zameen par,
Khwaabon mein phir bhi baadal hi the,
Woh kehta raha magar,
Allah ke bandhe hans de, jo bhi ho kal phir aayega.

{As he fell from the skies,
He landed on the earth,
His dreams were filled with the clouds,
He kept saying,
O servant of Allah, whatever happens tomorrow will come.}

Khoke apne par hi to,
Usne tha udna seekha,
Sitam ko tere seeth bhi le le,
Dard bhi tere kaam aayega.
{Only having lost his feathers,
Did he learn to fly,
Take your misfortune with you,
Even the pain will be of use to you.}

Tukde tukde ho gaya tha,
Har sapna jab woh toota,
Bikhre tukde mein allah ki marzi ka manzar paayega.
{When every dream was broken,
He was all in pieces,
In the broken pieces, you will find the meaning of Allah’s will.}

Allah ke bandhe hans de, jo bhi ho kal phir aayega.
{O servant of Allah, whatever happens tomorrow will come.}
