god had hung
up on me
i was out
of reach
hindu shia
i cut my head
i walk on fire
i practice
but do not
preach
i dont
proselytize
what i teach
you follow
what you
have to follow
my faith you
cannot breach
ya hussain
ya hussain
my silence
my freedom
of speech
ya ali
maulah
man kunto
maulah
i beseech

Shah-E-Mardaan, Shair-E-Yazdaan,
Qoowwat-E-Parwardigaar,
La Fata illa Ali,
La Saif illa Zulfiqaar


Her Qalb Ali, Jism Ali, Jaan Ali Hai
Mujh BeSar-O-Samaan Ka Samaan Ali Hai
Imaan Ka Matlaash E Ye Imaan Keh Doon
Iman To Yeh Hai Mera Imaan Ali Hai
Ali Maula, Maula Ali Maula
Maula Ali Maula, Maula Ali Maula
