kaha se le ke aayi hai kaha majburiya meri
zuba khamosh aankhe keh rahi hai daasta meri
meri takdir ke mailk mera kuch faisala kar de
bura chahe bura kar de bhala chahe bhala kar de
meri takdir ke mailk

mujhe itna bata de mai kaha jau kidhar jaau
kahi jaane se achcha hai tere kadmo me mar jaau
sahara de nahi sakta to fir be-aasra kar de
meri takdir ke mailk

nahi duniya me mera dusra koi thikana hai
mujhe to bas yahi apna mukaddar aazmana hai
liya hai dil to meri jaan bhi tan se juda kar de
meri takdir ke mailk

mujhe barbaad karne me jo hota ho bhala tera
bujha de apne hatho se chirag-e-zindagi mera
nahi koi gila tujhse agar chahe fanah kar de
meri takdir ke mailk

From where did these compulsions arrive, mine?
My tongue, silent; my eyes, narrating tales divine.
O Master of my fate, a judgment now impart,
Let ill befall, or favor start,
O Master of my fate.

Tell me, where shall I go, to which path shall I tread?
Better to perish at Your feet, instead.
If solace You cannot offer, leave me forlorn,
O Master of my fate.

No other refuge in this world I see,
Here, my destiny I must decree.
Since You've claimed my heart, from my body, life rend,
O Master of my fate.

If in my ruin, Your good fortune resides,
Extinguish with Your own hands, the lamp where life presides.
No complaint I'll raise, if annihilation's Your art,
O Master of my fate.
