is tarah soya hai koi ke jaise uth na paye
rote ansu wo tham gaye kabhi nikal na paye
maula samjha de dil ko wo dhal gaya
jo tha roshan falak pe
wo arman tha jo tut gaya yu ud chala aasman pe
ik wari fir se din nikle
chahat me teri wo guzre
maula mere mujhe bakash de
maula mere maula mujhe bakash de
mujhe bakash de mujhe bakash de

jaisa wo karta hai wais awo bharta hai
katra katra bhi dariya banta hai
itna he bas samajh aa jaye
beshaq wo fir se muskaye
or dua meri le jaye
maula mere mujhe bakash de
maula mere maula mujhe bakash de
mujhe bakash de mujhe bakash de

As if in slumber, a sleep from which there's no awakening,
Tears once cried, now frozen, a wellspring never breaking.
My heart, O Lord, teach it to melt, to fade away,
That light which shone upon the heavens, now astray.
A wish, once radiant, shattered, soaring to the sky,
Again the sun ascends, as another day goes by.
Longing for you, it has spent its days,
Lord, forgive me, in your boundless ways.
Lord, my Lord, grant me your grace,
Forgive me, and leave your mark on my face.

As he acts, so does the echo of his being swell,
Drop by drop, a river's secrets he will tell.
If only this much I could comprehend,
Then surely, once more, he will transcend,
And carry my prayers beyond the bend.
Lord, forgive me, in your boundless grace,
Lord, my Lord, grant me your embrace.
Forgive me, and leave your mark on my face.
