.
Chhotaa kar ke dekhiye jeevan ka vistar
Aankhon bhar akaash hai, bahon bhar sansaar
Sabki puja ek si, alag alag hai reet
Masjid jaye maulvi, koel gaye geet
.
(Try shrink the expanse of your life and you will find
The sky fits into your eyes and the world within outstretched arms
Each heart has the same prayer, only the expression is different
The maulvi visits the masjid while the koel sings)
.
Lyrics by Nida Fazli, sung by Jagjit Singh in the album “Insight”
