Hearing the philosophy of selfhood (Khudi), even prayers begin to tremble,

With the intense heat of the heart's lamp, the winds begin to tremble.

Keep the bars of your prison a little stronger,

For when the hawk (Shaheen) flutters its wings, the skies begin to tremble.

Even after crucifying us, you will be deeply disappointed,

At our smile, even the punishments begin to tremble.
