"चंदा सूरज लाखों तारे,
है तेरे ही यह सारे,
किस बात पर होती तकरारें,
खींची है लकीरें इस ज़मीन पे पर न खीचो देखो,
बीच में दो दिलों के यह दीवारें."
- नुसरत फ़तेह अली खान
"The moon, the sun, and millions of stars,
They all belong to you,
What makes you fight over petty things?
You have managed to draw lines on this land,
At least don't do so between hearts."
- Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
This song questions the divide between India and Pakistan in 1947. Even though there have been lines drawn on the land, dividing it into fragments, can we at least let the warmth and love be?
