sab se pehle sangit bana
sab se pehle sangit bana, phir suraj chand sitare
khushiyo ke sang phir dard bana
dil banaake phir dilwale, phir ishq mohabbat pyar huwa
kahee sohni aur mahiwal huwa, phir khwab saja lee ankho me
phir sapno kaa sansar bana, sab se pehle sangit bana

phir daulat aur jagir bani, rishto kee ek tasvir bani
panchhi chaheke mausam mehke, sawan aaye badal barse
hai sab kuchh usaki hee maaya, jo tha sabse pehle pehle
sabse pehle sangit bana, phir suraj chand sitare

kudrat ne bhi tha janam liya, angan me sat suro ke
sargam kee rang phir mahek uthi, kudrat ke surkh honto pe
dilbar ke dil ko chhune laga, sangit sanam pehle pehle
sab se pehle sangit bana, phir suraj chand sitare
khushiyo ke sang phir dard bana
dil banaake phir dilwale, phir ishq mohabbat pyar huwa
kahee sohni aur mahiwal huwa, phir khwab saja lee ankho me
phir sapno kaa sansar bana, sab se pehle sangit bana
phir suraj chand sitare

In the beginning, music was born,
Before sun, moon, and stars aligned.
With joy, then sorrow, life's torn,
Hearts were crafted, lovers entwined.
Then love, affection, and passion grew,
Sohni and Mahiwal, a tale so true.
Dreams bloomed within eyes,
A world of visions, a paradise.
In the beginning, music was born.

Then riches and lands took their place,
A portrait of bonds, etched in time.
Birds sang their songs, nature's embrace,
Monsoons arrived, clouds in their prime.
All is His illusion, a divine art,
What came before, a brand new start.
In the beginning, music was born,
Before sun, moon, and stars aligned.

Nature, too, found its own birth,
Within the courtyard of seven notes.
The melody's colors bloomed on earth,
Upon nature's crimson throats.
It touched the beloved's very core,
Music, the beloved, forevermore.
In the beginning, music was born,
Before sun, moon, and stars aligned.
With joy, then sorrow, life's torn,
Hearts were crafted, lovers entwined.
Then love, affection, and passion grew,
Sohni and Mahiwal, a tale so true.
Dreams bloomed within eyes,
A world of visions, a paradise.
In the beginning, music was born,
Before sun, moon, and stars aligned.
