Khudai Ehtamam-e-Khushk-o-Tar Hai
Khudawand! Khudai Dard-e-Sar Hai

To be God is to have charge of land and sea;
Being God is nothing but a headache!

Walekin Bandagi, Astagfirullah!
Ye Dard-e-Sar Nahin, Dard-e-Jigar Hai

But being a servant of God? God forbid!
That is no headache—it is a heartache!

(Bal-e-Jibril-114)

خدائی اہتمامِ خشک و تر ہے
خداوندا! خدائی دردِ سر ہے
و لیکن بندگی، استغفراللہ!
یہ دردِ سر نہیں، دردِ جگر ہے
