Aaina Khaanay Mein

Aaina khaanay mein jo log raha kartay hain

Baarish-e-sang jo hoti hai to kiya karrtay hain

chatriyaan = umbrellas

taan = cover (verb)

(How careful are these disciples of [any] faith that they're so confident of the acceptance of their prayers that when they pray for rain, they're sure of its fall, so they already prepare themselves, by opening their umbrellas while praying for rain)
