Hearken, lords, a true tale I unfold,
Raja Khan, your servant, lets the story be told.
He who spends his wealth, a man he too,
He who begs for scraps, a man anew.
He who feasts on sweets, a man's delight,
He who chews the betel, in the fading light.
He who sheds his tears, a man in pain,
This one a man, that one again,
Alas, O Man! Bravo, O Man!

Now, of faith and conscience, let the truth be known,
The Mullah, a man, the priest, alone.
The clerk, a man, the beggar, too,
The light and heavy, a varied crew.
He who rides on others, a man so bold,
He who walks on foot, a story told.
This one a man, that one again,
Alas, O Man! Alas, O Man!

Of the evils of man, now lend an ear,
From the mosque, men steal, driven by fear.
From temples, idols vanish and fade,
Every noble deed, by man is made.
Each earns his bread in ways they choose,
He who consumes it, a man to lose.
This one a man, that one again,
Alas, O Man! Bravo, O Man!

Of man's honor and disgrace, the tale expands,
Man kills man, with cruel commands.
Man dishonors, strips away the grace,
Man seeks support in a desperate chase.
He who deceives with a cunning snare,
This one a man, caught in despair.
This one a man, that one again,
Alas, O Man! Bravo, O Man!

Of the scoundrel and the rogue, let the verses flow,
The rogue a man, the scoundrel, too.
When generosity shines, a Ganges grand,
He provokes conflict, riots in the land.
The ashamed and the naked, a man's plight,
He who steals the clothes, vanishing in the night.
This one a man, that one again,
Alas, O Man! Alas, O Man!

Love's force, Ghalib said, defies command,
The prosperous man, the pauper on the land.
He shapes the world with his actions, bold,
Majnun a man, Mahiwal, a story told.
He dies for love, a tragic plea,
He who courts a girl, a man to see.
This one a man, that one again,
Alas, O Man! Alas, O Man!

Hear the difference, between hero and the zero,
When the film succeeds, the hero is the show.
When the film fails, a zero he must bear,
Changes color, a chameleon's stare.
He who holds false coins, a pocket’s curse,
He who steals the purse, forever perverse.
This one a man, that one again,
Alas, O Man! Alas, O Man!

Now behold the wonder of man's command,
He makes man dance upon his hand.
With a snap, man is banished from sight,
He spins a web, weaving day and night.
He who fools another, a trickster's art,
This one a man, tearing the heart apart.
This one a man, that one again,
Alas, O Man! Alas, O Man!

Let's go to the disco, a qawwali man's call,
Forgetting Pancham's melody, the Panchali's thrall.
He takes an insult, and returns it with a curse,
In this age, an empty soul is rare, perversed.
He who claps his hands, a man's release,
This one a man, finding inner peace.
This one a man, that one again,
Alas, O Man! Alas, O Man!
