Nafs Hindi, Maqam-e-Naghma Tazi
I wish someone saw how I play the flute—
The breath is Indian, the tune Arabian!
Tabiyat Ghaznavi, Qismat Ayyazi!
My vision has a taint of the Western style;
I am a Ghaznavi by temper, but my fate is that of an Ayaz!
(Bal-e-Jibril-090) Koi Dekhe To Meri Ne Nawazi
Nafs Hindi, Maqam-e-Naghma Tazi
I wish someone saw how I play the flute—
The breath is Indian, the tune Arabian!
Tabiyat Ghaznavi, Qismat Ayyazi!
My vision has a taint of the Western style;
I am a Ghaznavi by temper, but my fate is that of an Ayaz!
