Khuda ke liye (For God's sake)

As I was listening to the title track of the 2007 bold Pakistani movie- 'Khuda ke Liye' which dared to present some facts on terrorism in the name of religion and question them too, I thought it makes sense to put it here. People continue to kill each other in the name of religion, though neither religion nor God preaches such things. This movie was also released in India and watched and appreciated by many - Muslims and non Muslims. Afterwards I'd heard of the film-makers being absconding by being 'wanted' for all the wrong reasons.....

I am pasting the lyrics of the lovely song (which makes us think) and is an appeal to people of all religions :

KHUDA KE LIYE

Khuda ke naam se khelo naa,
Khuda ke liye, Khuda ke liye
Khuda mera bhi hai, cheeno naa
Khuda ke liye, Khuda ke liye.
Khuda toh Azeem hai,
Raheem bhi,Kareem bhi,
Main kaise maan loon,
Ke bus Jabbar hai.
Khuda toh Aasaan hain, samjho naa.
Khuda ke liye, Khuda ke liye.
Khuda toh Haseen hai,
Jameel bhi, maatin bhi.
Yeh dil nahi maanta
ke bus Kahaar hai.
Khuda Rehmaan hai, mano naa.
Khuda ke liye, Khuda ke liye.
Khuda ke naam se, khelo naa.
Khuda ke liye, Khuda ke liye.
Khuda mera bhi hea, cheeno na.
Khuda ke liye, Khuda ke liye....

English translation :

Don't play with the name of God

For God's sake, for God's sake

God is mine too, don't steal Him from me.

For God's sake, for God's sake.

God is Magnificient,

He's Merciful and Generous too,

How do I believe that

He is just Powerful?

God is Simple.

Why don't you understand?

For God's sake, for God's sake?

God is Beautiful,

He's Lovely and Constant too,

My heart doesn't believe that

He's just Almighty.

God is Kind, believe me.

For God's sake, for God's sake.

Don't play with the name of God,

For God's sake, for God's sake.
