itna to waqt de waqt de
itna to waqt de waqt de raste ke vaste
saman band lu samn band lu samn band lu
arman band lu arman band lu

Unbidden, unaware, whence did you come?
Unbidden, unaware, whence did you come?
Though the path unfolds, this journey's long and numb.
Grant me respite, grant me time,
Grant me time, oh, give me time, for the road ahead to climb.
To gather my things, to gather my things,
To gather my dreams, my heart still sings.
Of this life, I seek not the end,
Oh, Death, wait, I am not ready, my friend.
Oh, Death, wait, I am not ready, my friend.
Of this life, this life, I seek not the end,
Oh, Death, wait, I am not ready, my friend.
Oh, Death, wait, I am not ready, my friend.
Oh, Death, wait, I am not ready, my friend.
Oh, Death, wait, I am not ready, my friend.

No force compels thee, oh, Majazbi,
Oh, Majazbi, oh, Majazbi,
Alas, no force compels thee, oh, Majazbi.
This life's a loan, this life's a loan,
Yet, a plea I've sown, a plea I've sown.
This life's a loan, this life's a loan,
Yet, a plea I've sown, a plea I've sown.
Little time, less leisure, the clock does chime.
Days are few, only four, only four,
Though splendors abound, a dazzling core,
From this stage of beauty, I am not sore.
Oh, Death, wait, I am not ready, my friend.
Of this life, I seek not the end,
Oh, Death, wait, I am not ready, my friend.
Oh, Death, wait, I am not ready, my friend.

You heal each wound, why should the heart fear?
You heal each wound, why should the heart fear?
Escape's path, the heart's embrace, the heart's dear.
Escape's path, the heart's embrace, the heart's dear.
You heal each wound, oh God, why should the heart fear?
Escape's path, the heart's embrace, the heart's dear.
For every ache, a cure, despair's reprieve,
The crown of joys, sorrow's relief, sorrow's belief.
You are the Messiah, yet I'm not the ill one here,
Oh, Death, wait, oh Death, wait, I am not ready, my friend.
Oh, Death, wait, I am not ready, my friend.
Of this life, this life, I seek not the end,
Oh, Death, wait, I am not ready, my friend.
Oh, Death, wait, I am not ready, my friend.

A servant of art, I am a singer, I start,
I am a singer, a servant of art.
The gathering's ablaze, I ride the waves, the waves.
Give me this music, give me my muse,
Oh, my friends, fear not, fear not my dues.
No lawyer, judge, nor officer I pursue.
Oh, Death, wait, oh Death, wait, I am not ready, my friend.
Oh, Death, wait, oh Death, wait, I am not ready, my friend.
