I Make Up My Mind, A Urdu Poem By Hafeez Jalandhari In English Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

I make up my mind -
I am surely this time
going to do this
and also going to do that.

Then I start thinking
and thinking
and do nothing.

Afraid If I do this
that may not happen,
and if I do that
this may not happen.

And so I live my life
thinking and doing nothing.

Aey khuda give me some 'akalmandi'
and take out all 'ballah' from my head.
Let me live my life like other sane people.


kuhda= Allah, God

akalmandi= wisdom

ballah= nuisance, confusion
