Shikwa Jawab e Shikwa lyrics
Shikwa The Complaint (11)
Aa gaya ain laraai mein agar waqt e namaz
Qible ru ho ke zameen bos howi Qoum e Hijaz
Ek hi saf mein khare tha Mahmood o Ayaz,
Na Koi banda raha aur na koi banda nawaz
Banda o shahib o mauhtaj o ghani aik howe
Teri Sarkar mein pochanche to sabhi aik howe
⏩When worship’s ordained hour was come and furious raged the battle fray
Those men of Hijaz staunch in you facing kaaba bowed to pray,
Those men of Hijaz staunch in you facing kaaba bowed to pray,
Mohmood the king and slave Ayaz in line as equals stood arrayed
The lord was no more lord to slave, while both to the one master prayed,
Slave or slaves master rich or poor, no sense of difference then felt
For each a brother was to each when in your presence lord they knelt.⏪
Jawab e Shikwa The Answer to The Complaint(11)
Safah e dehr se batil ko mitaya kis ne?
Nau e insan ko Ghulami se Chhuraya kis ne?
Mere Kaabe ko jabeenon se basaya kis ne?
Mere Quran ko seenon se lagaya kis ne?
Tha to aba woh tumhare hi magar tum kya ho?
Hath par Hath dhare muntazir e farda ho,
⏩Whose striving from this world of mine its falsehood did efface?
Whose toil from age old ignorance set free the human race?
Whose toil from age old ignorance set free the human race?
And whose the brows whose worship filled my Kaaba hallowed shrine?
Or whose the breasts which fondly held my Glorious book divine?
These were your great progenitors your lack their brain and brawn
You sit wait in slothful ease for every morrows dawn.⏪
Shikwa The Complaint (12)
Mehfil e kon o makan mein sehar o shaam phre
Mai e Tauheed ko lekar sifat e jam phire
Koh mein dasht mein le kar tera pegham phre
Aur maalom hai tujh kabhi nakaam phire,
Dasht to dasht hain darya bhi na chhore hum ne
Bahr e zulmaat mein daura diya ghore hum ne
⏩And you do know we went about at sunrise or when star did shine
In banquet halls of time and space like goblets filled with tawhid wine,
In banquet halls of time and space like goblets filled with tawhid wine,
Both heights and lowlands we traversed to spread your message O glad pain
Not even once you know well we strove against the world in vain,
Not only land we bore your word glorious across the heaving seas,
Upon our steed of zeal we rode unto their darkest boundaries.⏪
Jawab e Shikwa The Answer to The Complaint(12)
kya kaha? bahr e musalman hai faqt wade e hoor
Shikwa be ja bhi kare koi to lazim hai shaoor,
Adal hai fatir e hasti ka azal se dastoor
Muslim aeen howa kafir to mile hoor o Qasoor
Tum mein hooran ka koi chahne wala hi nahi
Jalwa e toor to majood hai Musa hi nahi
⏩And did you say for Muslims I mere promises dispense?
Unjust laments at leat should show some spark of commonsense,
Unjust laments at leat should show some spark of commonsense,
Eternal is the law of God and justice is its name
Should infidels like Muslims live the med shall be the same,
Not a single one among you is longing for houris
The effulgence TUR exists but there is no Musa.⏪
Shikwa The Complaint (13)
Safah e dahar se baatil ko mitaya hum ne
Nau e insaan ko Ghulami se chhuraya hum ne
Tere Kaabe ko jabeenon se baasaya hum ne
Tere Quran ko seenon se lagaya hum ne
Phir bhi hum se yeh gila hai ke wafadar nahi
Hum wafadar nahi tu bhi to Dildar nahi
⏩We who removed from this worlds book the leave which were with falsehood stained
We who from tyrant ignorance the poisoned human race unchained,
We who from tyrant ignorance the poisoned human race unchained,
We who with myriad sajdas filled your Holy Kaaba hallowed shrine
Whose bosoms reverently held your great and glorious book divine,
If our med still the obloquy that we have shirked the faithful part
How then canst you make claim to be the kindly faith compelling heart?⏪
Jawab e Shikwa The Answer to The Complaint(13)
Manfaataik hai is Qaum ki nuqsan bhi aik
Ek hi sab ka Nabi (S.A.W) Din bhi Iman bhi aik
Harm e paak bhi 'Allah' bhi Quran bhi aik
Kuch bari bat thi hote jo Musalmaan bhi aik
Firqa bandi hai kahin aur kahin zaatain hain
kya zamane mein panapne ki yehi batain hain?
⏩Your nations weal your nation whose in common you all share
You Prophet (S.W.A) and your creed the same the same truth you declare,
You Prophet (S.W.A) and your creed the same the same truth you declare,
And one your KAABA one you GOD and one your great Quran
Yet still divided each from each live every Mussalman
You split yourselves in countless sects in classes high and low
Think you the world its gifts will still on such as you bestow?⏪
Shikwa The Complaint (14)
Ummatain aur bhi hain in mein gunahgar bhi hian
Ejaz wala bhi hain mast e mai e pindar bhi hain
In mein kahil hain ghafil bhi hain Hushyar bhi hain
Saikron hain ke tere naam se baizar bhi hain
Rehmatain hain teri aghiyar ke kashaanon par
barq girti hai to bechare musalmanon par
⏩For there are those of other faiths among whom many sinners
Some humble other puffed with pride drunken in their effrontery,
Some humble other puffed with pride drunken in their effrontery,
If some have vision thousands are of little worth neglectful worst
And millions upon millions live from your dear glorious name averse,
Yet see how still your bounties rain on roofs unbelieving clans
While strikes your thunder bolt the homes of all forbearing Mussalmans.⏪
Jawab e Shikwa The Answer to The Complaint(14)
Kon hai taarik e aeen e Rasool e Mukhtar (S.A.W) ?
Maslihat waqt ki hai kis ke amal ka maayar
Kis ki ankhon mein samya hai shaar e aghyar
Ho gayi kis ki Nigah tarz e salaf se baizar?
Qalb mein souz nahin rooh mein ehsas nahi
Kuch bhi Paigham e Muhammad (S.A.W) ka tumhain pas nahi
⏩Who now forgetfully neglect my Rasool law sublime
And whose live write them clearly down as servers of the time,
And whose live write them clearly down as servers of the time,
To whom now other customs seem far nobler then their own?
By whom your great forefathers ways once followed are forsworn?
Your hearts are now of longing void your souls now know no zeal
You heed no more that message great which Ahmad (PBUH) did reveal.⏪
Shikwa The Complaint (15)
Boott sanam khanon mein kehte hain musalman gye
Hai khushi in ko ke Kaabe ke nigehban gye
Manzil e dehr se unthon ke hudi khawan gye
Apni baghlon mein dabaye howe Quran gayee
Khandah zan kufr hain ehsas tujhe hai ke nahi
Apni touheed ka kuch paas tujhe hai ke nahi
⏩In idol houses hark they say behold the Muslim star sinks low
How glad they are that now at last your Kaaba brave protectors go,
How glad they are that now at last your Kaaba brave protectors go,
They say the world is well rid now of hymn reciting camel men
Their Quran folded in their arms at last they them from our ken,
Thus they rejoice who own you not yet still unmindful seemest you
Of yours own one ness your Tawhid are you so unrewarding now?⏪
Jawab e Shikwa The Answer to The Complaint(15)
Ja ke hote hain Masjid mein saf ara to ghareeb
Zehmat e roza jo karte hain gawara to ghareeb
Naam leta hai agr koi hamara to ghareeb
Pardah rakhta hai agr koi tumhara to ghareeb
Umra nasha e doulat mein hain ghafil hum se
Zinda hai millat e baiza ghurba ke dam se
⏩If worships echoes ring in Mosques it is the poor who pray
If any fasting hardship bear it is the poor today.
If any fasting hardship bear it is the poor today.
It is the humble and the poor who still my name esteem
There is the world their is the deed yours the shame they redeem,
The rich are drunk with wine of wealth their God they hardly know
It is because the poor yet live that well of faith still flow. ⏪
