tere karam ki jo ho jaye roshani maula
to nikle pal me andhero se jindagi maula
duwa kubul karo mujh garib ki maula
duwa kubul karo mujh garib ki maula
duwa kubul karo mujh garib ki maula
duwa kubul karo mujh garib ki maula

nahi to meri bhi jan le lo
le lo jan meri bhi jan le lo
le lo jan meri bhi jan le lo
aaj hi maula
dula kubul karo duba kubul karo
duba kubul karo

badi ummid se ham tere dar pe aaye hai
badi ummid se ham tere dar pe aaye hai
udas aankho me aansu hi sath laye hai
bhare jahan me koi bhi meherban hi nahi
jamin pairo me aur sar pe aasman hi nahi
nikal dijiye aafat se jindagi maula
nikal dijiye aafat se jindagi maula

hai besahara hamara koyi sahara nahi
hai besahara hamara koyi sahara nahi
ulajh gaye hai bhanwar me koyi kinara nahi
ulajh gaye hai bhanwar me koyi kinara nahi
jamane bhar ne lagai hai tohamate ham par
dukho me dube hai barsao rehmate ham par
tu shah shaho kaa tujhko hai kya kami maula
tu shah shaho kaa tujhko hai kya kami maula
nahi to meri bhi jan le lo
le lo jan meri bhi jan le lo
le lo jan meri bhi jan le lo
aaj hi maula
dula kubul karo duba kubul karo
duba kubul karo

When the light of your deeds, O Lord, descends,
My life, in an instant, from shadows transcends.
Accept this prayer, this plea of the poor, O Lord,
Accept this prayer, this plea of the poor, O Lord,
Accept this prayer, this plea of the poor, O Lord,
Accept this prayer, this plea of the poor, O Lord.

If not, then take my life,
Take my life, yes, take my life,
Take my life, this very day,
O Lord.
Accept this prayer, accept this prayer,
Accept this prayer.

With great hope, to your threshold we came,
With great hope, to your threshold we came,
With tear-filled eyes, only sorrow we claim,
With tear-filled eyes, only sorrow we claim.
In this world, no kindness is found,
Earth beneath, and sky unbound.
Deliver this life from its plight, O Lord,
Deliver this life from its plight, O Lord.

We are forsaken, with no solace near,
We are forsaken, with no solace near,
Lost in the vortex, no shore to appear.
The world has cast blame upon us, it seems,
Drowned in sorrows, shower us with dreams.
You are King of Kings, what lack do you bear, O Lord?
You are King of Kings, what lack do you bear, O Lord?
If not, then take my life,
Take my life, yes, take my life,
Take my life, this very day,
O Lord.
Accept this prayer, accept this prayer,
Accept this prayer.
