MA AMBE TERI SHARAN MEIN HUM AAYE
BHOOL-CHUK SHAMA KAR DE, MAFI HUM MANGE
SUKH SHANTI SE BHAR DE JEEVAN APNA
NAA HO KOI KLESH, NAA KOI DURGHATNA
AASHIRVAD JO RAHE TERI HUM PAR
PHIR KAISA BHAYE AUR KAISI VEDANA

Father you are to all on earth
Plans you make to mould our birth
Odd you are to all things myth
Your love so deep to firm our faith.

Our body, your image you gave us life
Mind it whispers your thought to us
Soul you gave, for eternal it is
It's all that returns to you from here.

Men in grief, despair we are
Traitors we often break our trusts
Never would you leave us to stray
For endless your love so deep inside.

Broken I curse my life in vain
Hapless I find this course on soil
Dismay, in pain and all frenzy things
Walked I off from you Oh! Lord.

Blaze of a meteor, the planets and stars
All in tact, all spheres well placed
Our brains too short to contain it all
Mystery the word it speaks for you.

Father Oh! God, you're the only one
Your mercy that's great has spared us all
Still never would one discern the truth
For pains we bring to Him all new

Wo Raasta Haq ka rasta hai
jidhar hum ehle wafa chalein hain
luta sako tum bhi jan to aao
Ke hum sub Karbala chalein hain

Kafan hain bandhain huye saro par
labo pe le kar dua chalein hain
Wo Raasta Haq ka rasta hai
jidhar hum ehle wafa chalein hain

Hamare hatho me haath dogey to
dushmano ko bhi maat do ge
Hamare shano ko thap thapa ke MOHAMMAD-E-MUSTAFA chalein hain
Luta sako tum bhi jan to aao
Ke hum sub Karbala chalein hain

Hamare baad aane wale logo jatan na karne padenge tumko
Tumhare raste me aane wali har ek dewaar dha chalein hain
Luta sako tum bhi jaan to aao
Ke hum sab Karbala chalain hain
Haseen ujalon ko paal lena gharo ko apne ujla kar lena
Bujha sakegi na jin ko aandhi chirag aise jala chalein hain
Luta sako tum bhi jaan to aao
Ke hum sab Karbala chalain hain
Wo Raasta Haq ka rasta hai
jidhar hum ehle wafa chalein hain.

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Muslim duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of Allah to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time"
