(Bal-e-Jibril-133) Parwana Aur Juggnu

Parwana Aur Jugnoo
THE MOTH AND THE FIREFLY


Parwana
THE MOTH

Parwane Ki Manzil Se Bohat Door Hai Jugnu
Kyun Atish-e-Besouz Pe Magroor Hai Jugnu

The firefly is so far removed from the status of the moth!
Why is it so proud of a fire that cannot burn?

Jugnu
THE FIREFLY

Allah Ka Sou Sukar Ke Parwana Nahin Main
Daryooza Gar-e-Atish-e-Begana Nahin Main

 God be thanked a hundred times, That I am not a moth–
That I am no beggar of alien fire!
