duniya se kya paa liya hai
duniya ne kiya de diya hai
tujhko to sabki khabar hai

meri ek araj hai maula
apni garaj hai maula
itna karam tu karde
meri jholi bharde maula
meri ek araj hai maula
apni garaj hai maula
itna karam tu karde
meri jholi bharde maula

What have I grasped from the world's vast hand,
What has the world bestowed, across the land?
You know the secrets, whispered in the night,
Who's taken what, hidden from the light.

My plea, O Master, my heart's deep need,
Grant me your mercy, plant a blessed seed.
Fill up my vessel, overflowing bright,
My plea, O Master, bathed in your light.

What have I grasped from the world's embrace,
What has the world bestowed with shifting grace?
You know the secrets, whispered in the night,
Who's taken what, hidden from the light.
My plea, O Master, my heart's deep need,
Grant me your mercy, plant a blessed seed.
Fill up my vessel, overflowing bright,
My plea, O Master, bathed in your light.

I, wise in the ways of the world's wide art,
Why, then, does hardship pierce my very heart?
I, wise in the ways of the world's wide span,
Why, then, does suffering beset this man?
Why only to me do troubles descend?
Why only to me do punishments extend?
My plea, O Master, my heart's deep need,
Grant me your mercy, plant a blessed seed.
Fill up my vessel, overflowing bright,
My plea, O Master, bathed in your light.

No treasure dwells within this empty keep,
Without wealth, the rhythm of life's songs sleep.
No treasure dwells within, a hollow space,
Without wealth, the rhythm fades from time and space.
Fill up my pockets, O divine bestower,
Transform my silver, in your generous power.
My plea, O Master, my heart's deep need,
Grant me your mercy, plant a blessed seed.
Fill up my vessel, overflowing bright,
My plea, O Master, bathed in your light.

What have I grasped from the world's wide hand?
