Grant me light, bestow your light,
Give, oh give, bestow your light.
Light, I crave, grant me light,
A flicker of grace,
May your tandoor ever blaze,
May your tandoor ever blaze,
May your tandoor ever blaze.
Take my life, if you must,
Take, oh take, my very life,
You, my life.
For you, I am Salim Khan,
For you, I am Salim Khan,
For you, I am Salim Khan.

At your roadside stall,
At your roadside stall,
Warm, fresh breads arise,
At your roadside stall,
Warm, fresh breads arise.
Your eyes, like marbles, round and bright,
Your eyes, like marbles, round and bright.
What are breads, what are marbles,
All my shop, I dedicate to your name,
For you, I am Salim Khan,
For you, I am Salim Khan,
For you, I am Salim Khan.

Publish this, in the morning’s press,
Publish this, in the morning’s press,
Announce it in the market’s throngs,
Oh, announce it in the market’s throngs.
No desire to live, in love's embrace,
Death itself, we find it sweet,
May your tandoor ever blaze,
May your tandoor ever blaze,
May your tandoor ever blaze.

I consent, and my God consents,
I consent, and my God consents,
Marry me, bring forth the Qazi,
I have won love's mighty game,
Oh, I have won love's mighty game.
Delhi's heart, no longer far,
May your tandoor ever blaze,
May your tandoor ever blaze,
May your tandoor ever blaze.
Grant me light, bestow your light,
Give, oh give, bestow your light.
A flicker of grace,
May your tandoor ever blaze,
May your tandoor ever blaze,
May your tandoor ever blaze.
