sab ko duniya se garaz mujhko tujhse kaam Everyone takes their purpose from
this world; I am just concerned with you.

sab duniya-duniya ratten main loon tera naam
The whole world importunes the world; I take only your name.

terii ek jhalak jo pai hai ek mastii hai jo chhai hai...
Just one glance of yours fills me with ecstasy...

mujhe apna koi hosh nahin
I'm no longer aware of myself (of the outer world);

pal bhar ko dil khaamosh nahin
my heart is never silent.

mere dil mein goonje yehii sadaa... In my heart, this always resounds:

jise tuu na mila use kuchh na mila... he -who has not found you, has found
nothing...

duniya mein duniyaadaaroon ko jhoothi daulat ke yaaroon ko
The worldly people of this earth, those whose friend is false weath,

daulat bhii milii taaqat bhii milii who have found riches and strength,

izzat bhii milii shaurat bhii milii who have found honor and glory,

jo chiiz inhoone pai hai
the things they have found

paanii pe likhii likhai hai
are written on water [i.e.not permanent].

is jhoothi shaan aur shaukat se mujhe lena kya mujhe matlab kya
What do I have to do with this false splendor and magnificence; what
meaning can it have for me?

mere dil mein goonje yehi sadaa
In my heart, this always resounds:

jise tuu na mila use kuchh na mila... he who has not found you, has found
nothing...

tuu muhabbat ka ek samundar hai
You are an ocean of love;

tujh mein Doobon tujhii mein ghul jaaoon in you I could drown; I could be
fully absorbed by you.

ek nazar dekh le jo tuu mujhko jism se ruuh tak main dhul jaaoon ]
if you glance at me once- my body and soul will get drenched/washed.

tuu muhabbat ka ek samundar hai
You are an ocean of love;

tujh mein Doobon tujhii mein ghul jaaoon in you I could drown; I could be
fully absorbed by you.

ek nazar dekh le jo tuu mujhko jism se ruuh tak main dhul jaaoon ]
if you glance at me once- my body and soul will get drenched/washed..

mujhe dekh zara pahachaan zara
Look at me; recognoze/acknowledge me;

maiin tera hoon main hoon tera...
I am yours, I belong to you!

mere dil mein goonje yehii sadaa... In my heart, this always resounds:

jise tuu na mila use kuchh na mila... he who has not found you, has found
nothing...

rang mein tuo hai roop mein too hai You are in the colors; you are in the
form;
chhanv mein tuo hai dhuup mein tuo hai you're in the shadows; you're in the
sunlight.

tuu hai raaton mein tuo saveron mein You're in the nights; you're in the
dawns;

tuu ujaaloon mein tuo andheron mein you're in the brightness of day and the
darkness as well.

tuo hii sardii mein tuo hii garmii mein You alone are in the cold; you
alone are in the heat;

tuu hii sakhtii mein tuu hii narmii hai you are in the hardness/harshness
and you are softness;
tuu hai paanii mein aag mein tuo hai you're in the water and you're in fire
as well.

tuu hai geeton mein raag mein tuo hai You're in songs, you're in melody;

tuu suron mein hai taal mein tuo hai you're in the sound and you're in the
rhythm.

soch mein tuu khayaal mein tuu hai You're in thoughts, you're in ideas;

mausamon mein hai tuu rituon mein tuo you're in the weather, you're in the
seasons.

mandiron mein hai tuu buton mein tuu You're in temples, and you're in
statues;

masjidon mein hai tuu -azaan mein tuu you're in mosques, and you're in the
muezzin's call to prayer.

tuo hai giita mein -hai quraan mein tuo
You're in the Bhagavadgita and you're in the Qur'an.

mandir ne kahaa masjid ne kahaa
The temple has said it; the mosque has said it;

har rasta hai tera rasta
every path is your path.

nahiin koii manzil tere siva...
There's no destination apart from you...

mere dil mein goonje yehi sadaa
In my heart, this always resounds:

jise tuu na mila use kuchh na mila... he who has not found you, has found
nothing...
