ham, chhupe rustam hai, chhupe rustam hai
chhupe rustam hai, chhupe rustam hai
chhupe rustam hai, chhupe rustam hai
qayamat ki nazar rakhte hai
zami to kya hai
zami to kya hai aasma ki khabar rakhate hai
chhupe rustam hai, chhupe rustam hai
chhupe rustam hai, chhupe rustam hai

chhup na paye koi tasvir, hamare aage
chal na paye koi tadabir, hamare aage
tut jati hai, tut jati hai
tut jati hai khud shamashir hamare aage
sar jhukati hai har taqadir hamare aage
raah kato me bana lete hai, aasma sar pe utha lete hai
ham agar taish me aa jaye to
ham agar taish me aa jaye to
aag pani me laga dete hai, aag pani me laga dete hai
hamare dam se ye zamana hai, sharab-o-jaam hai, maikana hai
ham jaha sar ko jhuka de yaro vahi kaba, vahi butakana hai

ham inasa hai, inasa ke liye
inasa ke liye, inasa ke liye
ham inasa hai, inasa ke liye dar pe sar rakhate hai
zami to kya hai
zami to kya hai aasma ki khabar rakhate hai
ham, chhupe rustam hai
chhupe rustam hai, chhupe rustam hai

tori nazariya gauri jaise
tori nazariya gauri jaise ras ki nadi laharaye
ek bar jo dube in me
pal-pal pal-pal pal-pal goti khaye, o ramaa
pal-pal gota khaye, pal-pal gota khaye
nazar ye tir bhi, talavar bhi hai
nazar inakar bhi, iqarar bhi hai
nazar ye phul bhi, har bhi hai
thal bhi, megh bhi, malahar bhi hai
nazar dil ki zuban hoti hai, motiyo kaa makan hoti hai
pyar kaa imtihan hoti hai, zami par asman hoti hai
zami par asman hoti hai
nazar uth jaye to dua ban jaye
agar jhuk jaye to haya ban jaye
jo tirchhi ho jo tirchhi ho
jo tirchhi ho to ada ban jaye
pade sidhi to qaza ban jaye
pade sidhi to qaza ban jaye
pade sidhi to qaza ban jaye
nazar koi bhi ho nazar koi bhi ho
nazar koi bhi ho ham sab pe nazar rakhate hai
zami to kya hai
zami to kya hai aasma ki khabar rakhate hai
chhupe rustam hai, chhupe rustam hai
chhupe rustam hai, chhupe rustam hai

ham teri talash me jan-e-jaha
ham teri talash me jan-e-jaha
jine ka kya dastur bane
kabhi kais, kabhi farhad
kabhi kaiyyam, kabhi masur bane
kya-kya na bane ham tere liye
par, jo bhi bane, bharapur bane
ab aaye maja jab khun-e-jigar
mang ka teri sindur bane
ham teri talash me jan-e-jaha
dar-dar ghume, ban-ban bhatke
parbat pe gaye, suli pe chade
nit khaye mukaddar ke jhat ke
tere ghunghat pat ki salwat me
at-at ye more naina atke
jhatpat de hame darshan, ham to
pyase hai teri kali lat ke
ham teri talash me jan-e-jaha

wo meri arzu hai meri zustzu
karu kuchh to mai kara do rubaru
jara tu rubaru rubaru rubaru
le hi jayenge le hi jayenge
le hi jayenge, utha ke bhari mahafil se tujhe
chura le aankh se kajal vo hunar rakhate hai
ham, chhupe rustam hai, chhupe rustam hai
chhupe rustam hai, chhupe rustam hai

We are the hidden masters, concealed in plain sight,
Guardians of secrets, bathed in unseen light.
We hold the gaze of doomsday, the weight of judgment's scale,
Knowing not just the earth, but the heavens' tale.
We are the hidden masters, concealed in plain sight.

No image can hide, no plan can prevail,
Before our presence, destinies frail.
Swords shatter, yielding to our might,
Every fate bows down in our sight.
We forge paths through thorns, raise the sky above,
When fury ignites within us, driven by love,
We can set fire to water, a paradox unbound.
This world breathes through us, a tavern profound.
We create the temple, the idol, the sacred ground.

We are humanity, for humanity's plea,
We bow our heads at the altar, willingly.
Knowing not just the earth, but the heavens' decree,
We are the hidden masters, eternally.

Her gaze, like a river of nectar's sway,
Entraps the soul, where one must always stay.
Each moment consumed, in its depths we play,
A dive, a dive, in the waves, come what may.
This gaze, a dart, a sword of the heart's design,
Both denial and promise, eternally entwined.
A flower, a garland, in beauty it gleams,
Earth and cloud, a symphony of dreams.
A language of the heart, a mansion of pearls,
A test of love, where heaven unfurls.
When it rises, a prayer takes flight,
When it bends, a shyness, pure and bright.
If it turns askew, it becomes a sweet art,
If it meets you straight, it tears you apart.
This gaze, whatever form it may be,
We watch all with unwavering decree.
Knowing not just the earth, but the heavens' decree,
We are the hidden masters, eternally.

We search for you, oh soul of the world,
How should we live, our banner unfurled?
Sometimes a Majnu, a Farhad's despair,
Sometimes a Khayyam, a Mansur's prayer.
What we become for you, is always complete,
Let the blood of our heart, become your sindoor to greet.
We, the mischievous Natvar, for you we roam,
Wander through forests, far from home.
Climb mountains, endure the cross's pain,
We are always fighting fate again and again.
We have been waiting for your veil’s wrinkles,
Our eyes locked, in your beauty’s tinkles,
Show yourself to us, we yearn to see,
We are thirsty for the darkness of your hair, you see.
We search for you, oh soul of the world.

Oh, my desire, my constant quest,
Let me meet you, put my soul to the test.
Just once, come face to face, appear,
We will take you away, banish all fear.
We steal the kohl from your eyes, a skill we possess,
We are the hidden masters, forever blessed.
