ab madad farmaiye mahbub subahani meri
hai jikar jinda mila aai mujhko nadani meri
ab madad farmaiye mahbub subahani meri

kijiye najre karam mushkil ko aasan kijiye
mujh pareshan haal par itna to ehsan kijiye
vasta hasnen ka shere khuda ka vasta
aalia ka vasta kulambiya ka vasta
dur kar dije khuda raah ab preshani meri
ab madad farmaiye mahbub subahani meri

dur hai nure najar
apna nahi koi yaha mudatlaye gam hu mai
dushman hua hai aasman saaj de badhke
prem ki lagi ka vasta raham tulim ka vasta
khijh daman me chupakar ab nigebani meri
ab madad farmaiye mahbub subahani meri

My Beloved, grant me succor, in dawn's embrace,
My ignorance, a life's tale, finds its place.
My Beloved, grant me succor, in dawn's grace.

Bestow your gaze of grace, ease burdens heavy,
Upon this heart, with anguish, deeply weary.
By Hasan's light, by Ali's lion's might,
By Fatima's love, the prophets' guiding light,
Remove the path's distress, its shadows flee,
My Beloved, grant me succor, set me free.

Far is the light of sight,
Alone, I wander, lost in sorrow's night.
The heavens turn, with foes that rise above,
By love's fierce flame, by mercy's gentle dove,
Hide me within your cloak, your tender keeping,
My Beloved, grant me succor, while I'm weeping.
