सांचे से तो जग नहीं, झूठे मिलै न राम

अब रहीम मुसकिल परी, गाढ़े दोऊ काम 

सांचे से तो जग नहीं, झूठे मिलैं न राम 

ab rahiim muskil parii, gaaRhe douu kaam

saanche se to jag nahii.n, jhooThe milai.n na raam 

The poet Rahiim says, there is a dichotomy which presents the greatest difficulty

The truth prevents your material success, lies will prevent your spiritual success

रहीम (अब्दुर्रहीम ख़ानख़ाना)

Javed Akhtar has started a channel on Tata Sky, where he will present Urdu couplets and Hindi dohas. The promos included this couplet which I had studied as a kid. I was shocked that someone like Javed Akhtar had made such a basic error. Whenever you quote, you quote verbatim. Of course sometimes there are versions which differ. But you cannot make the text easier, just because you think the audience is stupid. The version that Javed Akhtar is mouthing is 

रहिमन मुश्किल आ पड़ी, टेढ़े दोहू काम 

सीधे से जग ना मिले, उलटे मिले ना राम

While he is at it, he might rewrite all the Ghalib and Meer couplets as well. Since their language is also a couple of centuries old.
