YOU NEED ME! YOU NEED ME!
YOU NEED ME!
Tumhein hur burai k kaam main meri zarurat parti hai!
Meri zarurat!
Main tumharay nafs ka itna zaruri hissa hun, aur mujh hi se ?”
Lekin tum chahay kuch bhi kar lo!
Jitni bhi nafrat kar lo
Mujh se chutkara nahi paa saktay!
Kyunkay tumhari nafrat!
Meri taqat hai! (hissing laughter of satan)”

“ Parwardigaar! Main badkaar hun! Khatakaar hun! Lekin teray karam ka talabgaar hun. Teri bakshish ka umeedwaar hun.
Siyahkaar hun! Magar hun tou tera hi banda! Main kahan jaunga agar teri rehmat
Mujh se chin gyi tou?
Mujhe maaf kar de meray maula!
Mujhe maaf kar de !”

The boy will start becoming normal
His hands will drop on ground one by one
He will start doing a trance movement by sitting
The satan will come but the power of Allah will defeat him
He will do a dance movement along with the boy in which there will be a form of fight
Then the satan will be defeated
