01 — tum logon ki, is duniya mein
تم لوگوں کی، اس دنیا میں
ہر قدم پہ، انسان غلط
میں صحیح سمجھ کے جو بھی کروں
تم کہتے ہو غلط
میں غلط ہوں تو پھر کون صحیح
तुम लोगों की, इस दुनिया में
हर कदम पे, इंसान गलत
मैं सही समझ के जो भी करूँ
तुम कहते हो गलत
मैं गलत हूँ तो फिर कौन सही
tum logon ki, is duniya mein
har kadam pe, insaan galat
main sahi samajh ke jo bhi karoon
tum kehte ho galat
main galat hoon toh phir kaun sahi
In the world you people have made, at every step the human being is wrong. Whatever I do believing it right, you call it wrong. If I am wrong, then who is right?
The passage gives the song its starting position: the world's judgement, quoted before it is answered. Har kadam pe insaan galat, at every step the human is wrong, is the world's rule as the singer has learned it, and the inversion is his answer: sahi samajh ke, believing it right, is the only compass he has. The question that ends the passage, phir kaun sahi, then who is right, is the question the whole song is the argument to.
