You know it better not me
He is a fool,
Who claims that he aint a drunkard?
I ask the fool
“If he aint a drunkard,
Then why is he not walking steady
On the straight path”
Some drink the wine of ego and arrogance
Some drink the juice of lust and beauty
Some drink the liquor of fame and wealth
Some drink the sap of blood and usury
Some are showing off sipping a godly miniature
Some have just smelled it and act like a teacher
There are also some like me,
Who empty the whole tavern,
Yet spend a lot of time
Sitting quiet lonely
That’s simply because
Allahi! You know it better not me
So I accept and I do agree
I obeyed Syed Gaffar
I drank the forbidden drink
Also stole and hid something
I drank my anger
Hiding my prostrations
I stole your blessings
But you know it better not me
And such a hard lesson I’ve learnt
Getting apart from you
That I won’t eat of the heavenly tree again
Even if you allow me to
And you asked me to wish
But right before I did
I was rejected already
Why?
Coz you know it better not me
Yes you know it better not me
So give me the name of one mortal being
Who in distress did not forget you?
And called upon another mortal being
But you know it better not me
Trying to understand your commandments
Considering the permitted and forbidden
Sohail has spent his entire life
With pain permitted and comfort forbidden
Even though I’m following nothing but Islam
I seem to be rejecting, your nature’s decree
But you know it better not me
Do you not agree?
If Aziz and my life would have been sinless
Your attribute of being the most forgiving
Would have been useless
So I’m proud of myself
I act arrogant indeed
Only for the fact that you reside in me
But you know it...
