“Ellaahi Man Namedaanam” – الهی من نميدانم

Artist: Ahmad Zahir. Rough Translation: “I don’t know anymore. All I know is that I know nothing. Only God knows. One becomes a beggar, another a miserable wretch, and another becomes a king of many domains and regions and realms. One is reduced to nothing, and another rules the world. One becomes morally and ethically sound, another becomes corrupt and nasty, and another falls in love and goes mad. Off to the beloved, I am off to the beloved now, but with very little to be optimistic and happy about. I am cynical and pessimistic to a certain extent.”
