My Belief System shall sury be questioned

Urdu Nazm (poem) translation in English
______________________________________
•Now My belief system shall surely be questioned
Since I adopted the path of love

They shall question, they shall seek an answer
Who keep a count of their prayer before their Lord

•Now my intentions too shall be under scrutiny
Since the passion of love has enshrouded me

They shall doubt, they shall suspect
Who do good deeds in the greed of getting paradise

•Now upon the validity of my worship there shall be conflicting opinions
Since I started beseeching before Lord in silent whispers

They shall wonder they shall ponder
Who are unable to find their Lord close to their jugular veins

 •Now my freedom won't be tolerated anymore
Since I broke free from the chains of conventions and traditions

They shall be the judge they shall imprison me
Who have been putting the seal of God upon their own decisions

•Now my belief system shall surely be questioned
Since the day I adopted the path of love
