chheda jo dil kaa fasana hansa zor se kyo zamana
allaa jane maula jane, allaa jane maula jane

mubarak jahan tujhako tera uthaya faqiro ne dera
milega kahan ab thikana alla jane maula jane
alla jane maula jane, alla jane maula jane

mila kuchh na rasta badal ke gira vo chala jo sambhal ke
ye khel kitana purana alla jane maula jane
alla jane maula jane, alla jane maula jane

bacha sari duniya se jo dil hua apane tiro se ghayal
pada kaisa ulta nishana alla jane maula jane
allaa jane maula jane, alla jane maula jane
chheda jo dil kaa fasana hansa zor se kyo zamana
allaa jaane maula jane, alla jane maula jane

I touched the heart's old story, why did the world roar with glee?
God alone knows, my Lord alone knows, God alone knows, my Lord alone knows.

Blessed be your world, where beggars lift their tents to dwell,
Where now shall you find your haven? God alone knows, my Lord alone knows.
God alone knows, my Lord alone knows, God alone knows, my Lord alone knows.

Found nothing by changing paths, fell the one who tried to rise,
How ancient this game plays! God alone knows, my Lord alone knows.
God alone knows, my Lord alone knows, God alone knows, my Lord alone knows.

The heart, saved from the whole wide world, was wounded by its own shafts,
How contrary, the aim of the shot! God alone knows, my Lord alone knows.
God alone knows, my Lord alone knows, God alone knows, my Lord alone knows.
I touched the heart's old story, why did the world roar with glee?
God alone knows, my Lord alone knows, God alone knows, my Lord alone knows.
