Wo Buton Ne Daale Hain Waswasay: Tina Sani sings Faiz Ghazal
Tina Sani and Faiz Ahmed Ahmed
Wo Buton Ne Daale Hain Was-wasay, Ke Dilon Se Khauf-e-Khuda Gaya
Woh Roaz Pari Hain Kiyamatain, Ke Khayaal e Roz e Jazaa Gaya
وہ بتوں نے ڈالے ہیں وسوسے کہ دلوں سے خوف خدا گیا
وہ روز پڑی ہیں قیامتیں کہ خیال روز جزا گیا
Those idols have entered doubts in our hearts, that fear of true Allah has vanished
There is Judgement days everyday, that fear of real Qayamat has disappeared
