kyu mere yara ha mere yara aaya maja dildara

agar aisa rahbar mil jaye sabko dunia to kya hai pale wo rab ko
agar aisa rahbar mil jaye sabko dunia to kya hai pale wo rab ko
rab to sabhi ke dil me basa hai sabko usi rahbar ka sahara

kyu mere yara ha mere yara kyu mere yara ha mere yara
kyu mere yara ha mere yara aaya maja dildara

Joy has arrived, beloved, joy has arrived!
Our heart, no longer wandering, worthless, or forlorn,
has found new paths.
The destination, drawing near,
has beckoned us.
Why, my friend, oh my friend?
Why, my friend, oh my friend, my friend?
Why, my friend, oh my friend?
Why, my friend, oh my friend?
Joy has arrived, beloved!

Now, with none shall we quarrel,
nor shall we stir up strife.
Now, with none shall we quarrel,
nor shall we stir up strife.
A vow we've taken, no insult to utter,
no enemy remains to us.
Why, my friend, oh my friend?
Why, my friend, oh my friend, my friend?
Why, my friend, oh my friend?
Why, my friend, oh my friend?
Joy has arrived, beloved!

Now we understand, with wisdom,
fate can be altered.
With truth, the image of dreams
can be transformed.
The secret we have learned:
One conquers the world by conquering the self.
Why, my friend, oh my friend?
Why, my friend, oh my friend, my friend?
Why, my friend, oh my friend?
Why, my friend, oh my friend?
Joy has arrived, beloved!

If such a guide is found by all,
what is the world?
They shall embrace the Divine.
If such a guide is found by all,
what is the world?
They shall embrace the Divine.
The Divine resides within every heart;
all need only that guide's support.
Why, my friend, oh my friend?
Why, my friend, oh my friend, my friend?
Why, my friend, oh my friend?
Why, my friend, oh my friend?
Joy has arrived, beloved!

Our heart, no longer wandering, worthless, or forlorn,
