    maiñ ḳhayāl huuñ kisī aur mujhe sochtā koī aur hai

    sar-e-ā.īna mirā aks hai pas-e-ā.īna koī aur hai

    I am someone else's thought, someone else brings me to mind

    my image in the mirror wrought, someone else is there behind

    maiñ kisī ke dast-e-talab meñ huuñ to kisī ke harf-e-duā meñ huuñ

    maiñ nasīb huuñ kisī aur mujhe māñgtā koī aur hai

    I am in someone's outstretched hand, and in someone's prayer prayer I be

    I am someone's destiny but someone else does ask for me

    ajab e'tibār o be-e'tibārī ke darmiyān hai zindagī

    maiñ qarīb huuñ kisī aur ke mujhe jāntā koī aur hai

    strange that hanging tween belief and disbelief my life should be

    I am close to someone else, and someone else here fathoms me

    mirī raushnī tire ḳhadd-o-ḳhāl se muḳhtalif to nahīñ magar

    qarīb aa tujhe dekh luuñ vahī hai koī aur hai

    tho my sight unconversant with your features may not be

    if or not you are the same come close and let me see,

    tujhe dushmanoñ ḳhabar na thī mujhe dostoñ patā nahīñ

    tirī dāstāñ koī aur thī mirā vāqi.a koī aur hai

    ----

    ----

    vahī munsifoñ rivāyateñ vahī faisloñ ibārateñ

    mirā jurm to koī aur thā pa mirī sazā koī aur hai

    the same traditions of the law, the same judicial pronouncement

    my crime was something else but then something else my punishment

    kabhī lauT aa.eñ to pūchhnā nahīñ dekhnā unheñ ġhaur se

    jinheñ rāste meñ ḳhabar huī ki ye rāsta koī aur hai

    on their return merely observe them carefully question them not

    who halfway in the journey found these roads were not the ones they sought

    jo mirī riyāzat-e-nīm-shab ko 'salīm' sub.h na mil sakī

    to phir is ke ma.anī to ye hue ki yahāñ ḳhudā koī aur hai

    if for my midnight prayers, Saliim, a dawn there shall never be

    then it means that in this world there is a God other than thee

    main KHayal hun kisi aur ka mujhe sochta koi aur hai

    sar-e-aina mera aks hai pas-e-aina koi aur hai

    I am someone else's thought, someone else brings me to mind

    my image in the mirror wrought, someone else is there behind

    main kisi ke dast-e-talab mein hun to kisi ke harf-e-dua mein hun

    main nasib hun kisi aur ka mujhe mangta koi aur hai

    I am in someone's outstretched hand, and in someone's prayer prayer I be

    I am someone's destiny but someone else does ask for me

    ajab e'tibar o be-e'tibari ke darmiyan hai zindagi

    main qarib hun kisi aur ke mujhe jaanta koi aur hai

    strange that hanging tween belief and disbelief my life should be

    I am close to someone else, and someone else here fathoms me

    meri raushni tere KHadd-o-KHal se muKHtalif to nahin magar

    tu qarib aa tujhe dekh lun tu wahi hai ya koi aur hai

    tho my sight unconversant with your features may not be

    if or not you are the same come close and let me see,

    tujhe dushmanon ki KHabar na thi mujhe doston ka pata nahin

    teri dastan koi aur thi mera waqia koi aur hai

    ----

    ----

    wahi munsifon ki riwayaten wahi faislon ki ibaraten

    mera jurm to koi aur tha pa meri saza koi aur hai

    the same traditions of the law, the same judicial pronouncement

    my crime was something else but then something else my punishment

    kabhi lauT aaen to puchhna nahin dekhna unhen ghaur se

    jinhen raste mein KHabar hui ki ye rasta koi aur hai

    on their return merely observe them carefully question them not

    who halfway in the journey found these roads were not the ones they sought

    jo meri riyazat-e-nim-shab ko 'salim' subh na mil saki

    to phir is ke mani to ye hue ki yahan KHuda koi aur hai

    if for my midnight prayers, Saliim, a dawn there shall never be

    then it means that in this world there is a God other than thee
