laaj mori rakho ho gareeb nivaz
laaj mori rakho ho gareeb nivaz
laaj mori rakho ho gareeb nivaz
dhan va nahi de de moko more dhan maharaj
dhan va nahi de de moko more dhan maharaj
laaj mori rakho ho gareeb nivaz

deen dukhi mein dard chhupa na saki mein
deen dukhi mein dard chhupa na saki mein
sab tum karan haye haye
saran charan mein na pad haro
saran charan mein na pad haro
badi vipat phir aayo
man mandir tane kalash chadayo
man mandir tane kalash chadayo
prem khuda kahlayo prem khuda kahlayo
do gajvan ko lakh saja lo
do gajvan ko lakh saja lo
laaj mori rakho ho gareeb nivaz

Preserve my honor, O Compassionate Lord,
Preserve my honor, O Compassionate.
Preserve my honor, O Compassionate.

Wealth I crave not, only Your grace,
Wealth I crave not, only Your grace,
Preserve my honor, O Compassionate.

Aching, I am, lost in the shadows,
You, the sustainer, the ultimate guide.
All is because of You,
At Your feet, may I never falter.
Great suffering then returns,
A temple within my heart, a spire raised,
A temple within my heart, a spire raised,
Love's divinity, Love's divinity.
Even if you adorn the body with a million jewels,
Even if you adorn the body with a million jewels,
Preserve my honor, O Compassionate Lord.
