اس سوچ میں زندگی بتا دی
جاگا ہوا ہوں کہ سو رہا ہوں
شاہد کبیر –
Isi soch meiN zindagii bita dii
jaaga hua huN ki so raha huN
– Shahid Kabeer
इस सोच में ज़िंदगी बिता दी
जागा हुआ हूँ कि सो रहा हूँ
– शाहिद कबीर

Through me the way into the suffering city,
Through me the way to the eternal pain,
Through me the way that runs among the lost.
Justice urged on my high artificer;
My Maker was Divine authority,
The highest Wisdom, and the primal Love.
Before me nothing but eternal things
Were made, and I endure eternally.
Abandon every hope, who enter here.
