“Ajab Sabre Khuda Darad” – عجب صبری خدا دارد

Artist: Ahmad Zahir. Rough Translation: “I’m amazed and astonished at God’s patience and mercy. If I were in his place, the moment I’d see this kind of repression and oppression coming from these insolent and shameless people, I would’ve taken the world with all of its good, bad, and ugly, and I would’ve turned it upside down and I would’ve just obliterated it. There are the poor and downtrodden lying around on one corner of a street, while on the other end of the street, you have people enjoying and indulging like none other. As if there’s no tomorrow. If I could, I’d shut down all of it with the power of this Dionysian flow and stream. One is poor and wretched, while the other is living in unbounded luxury and wealth. Between the earth and the sky, I’d become the one and only madman who undermines and subverts the whole structure and system and shit on what it stands for.”
