khudi ko kar buland itna ke har takdir se pahle
khuda bande se khud puche bata teri raza kya hai
hai badhke farishto se bhi insan teri shan
khud ko jara pahchan tu khud ko jara pahchan
hai badhke farishto se bhi insan teri shan
khud ko jara pahchan tu khud ko jara pahchan

is dunia me tune hi liya nam khuda ka
liya nam khuda ka laya tha jami par tuhi
paygam khuda ka paygam khuda ka
to usko khuda kahta agar hota na insan
agar hota na insan hai badhke farishto se bhi
insan teri shan khud ko jara pahchan
tu khud ko jara pahchan

rote hue mohtazo yakimo ko hasa de
in bujhte charago ko sakhawat se jaga de
ek hath se agar apne lutayega khazane lutayega khazane
so hath se malik tere bhar dega khazane
tu inka nigeba khdua tera nigeba lutayega khazane
hai badhke farishto se bhi insan teri shan
khud ko jara pahchan tu khud ko jara pahchan

anjam tera tere hi hatho me hai nadan
khud ko jara pahchan tu khud ko jara pahchan
hai badhke farishto se bhi insan teri shan
khud ko jara pahchan tu khud ko jara pahchan

mathe se siya dag gunaho ke mita de
gunaho ke mita de
neki ke diye gum ke andhere me jala de
andhere me jala de do din ki khushi ke liye
tu bech na iman tu bech na iman
hai badhke farishto se bhi insan teri shan
khud ko jara pahchan tu khud ko jara pahchan

jannat na pirona na yaji nadido ke liye hai
allah ka ye ghar to sahido ke liye hai
hai waqt sambhalne ka sambhal ja are nadan
sambhal ja are nadan hai badhke farishto se bhi
insan teri shan khud ko jara pahchan
tu khud ko jara pahchan

kya teri duaao se falak hil nahi sakta
falak hil nahi sakta
is dar se tu chahe to kya mil nahi sakta
kya mil nahin sakta
ruk jayega neki se burai ka ye tufan
burai ka ye tufan
hai badhke farishto se bhi insan teri shan
khud ko jara pahchan tu khud ko jara pahchan

Elevate your self, so high, before fate's decree,
God Himself will ask, "What is your will to be?"
Man's glory surpasses the angels' flight,
Know thyself, recognize your inner light.
Man's glory surpasses the angels' flight,
Know thyself, recognize your inner light.

In this world, you uttered God's name,
You brought His message to the earthly frame.
If man were not, would God be hailed?
If man were not, His word unveiled?
Man's glory surpasses the angels' flight,
Know thyself, recognize your inner light.

Make the weeping, the needy, laugh with glee,
With generosity, ignite dying embers, see.
If you give with one hand, your treasure's embrace,
A hundred hands of your Lord will fill the space.
You are their guardian, God is your guide,
Man's glory surpasses the angels' stride.
Know thyself, recognize your inner light.

Your destiny rests within your own hand,
O heedless one, understand.
Man's glory surpasses the angels' flight,
Know thyself, recognize your inner light.

Erase from your brow the stains of sin's hold,
With acts of virtue, in darkness, unfold.
For fleeting joy, don't barter your soul,
Don't sell your faith to make yourself whole.
Man's glory surpasses the angels' flight,
Know thyself, recognize your inner light.

Paradise is not for Yazid's stain,
This House of God is for the slain.
The time to awaken, to arise, is now,
O heedless one, before your brow.
Man's glory surpasses the angels' flight,
Know thyself, recognize your inner light.

Can your prayers not move the heavens above?
From this door, can you not find love?
Goodness will still the storm of harm,
Goodness will keep you safe from harm.
Man's glory surpasses the angels' flight,
Know thyself, recognize your inner light.
