thagte dekhe hai lakho mulla karodo pandit hazaro sayane
jo khub socha samjh me aaya khuda ki bate khuda hi jane
aake duniya me basar kam karna hai jo kar
aake duniya me basar kam karna hai jo kar
saph niyat hai agar phir na anjam se dar
jane padti hai kidhar uski rehmat ki nazar
jane padti hai kidhar uski rehmat ki nazar
ye to allah ko khabar ye to maulla ko khabar
ye to allah ko khabar ye to maulla ko khabar

dekhte dekhte kyu khel bigad jate hai
dekhte dekhte kyu khel bigad jate hai
kyu baharo me bhare bag ujad jate hai
pyar se pala jinhe apna lahu de dekar
usi dali se wohi phul bichhad jate hai
kisi zalim ka bacha kisi zalim ka bacha
lute mazlum ka ghar lute mazlum ka ghar
ye to allah ko khabar ye to maulla ko khabar
ye to allah ko khabar ye to maulla ko khabar

wo jo chahe to bura waqt bhi taal sakta hai
wo jo chahe to bura waqt bhi taal sakta hai
wo hi kismat ki lakiro ko badal sakta hai
jat par uski bharosa hai to bande ek din
rat ke sine se suraj bhi nikal sakta hai
aadmi ko kya khabar aadmi ko kya khabar
uski manjil hai kidhar uski manjil hai kidhar
ye to allah ko khabar ye to maulla ko khabar
ye to allah ko khabar ye to maulla ko khabar

jane kis bhesh me kis mod pe wo mil jaye
jane kis bhesh me kis mod pe wo mil jaye
teri ummid ki har ek kali khil jaye
dil se nikli huyi fariyad me wo takat hai
wo jo sun le to pahado ka bhi dil hil jaye
mangte rahna dua mangte rahna dua
hoga kis waqt asar hoga kis waqt asar
ye to allah ko khabar ye to mulla ko khabar
ye to allah ko khabar ye to mulla ko khabar

zulm ki aag me zalim ko jalaya usne
zulm ki aag me zalim ko jalaya usne
ek majdur ka ghar phir se basaya usne
naam lete huye uska jo swali aaye
uske darbar se hargij na wo khali jaye
uske ghar der sahi uske ghar der sahi
nahi andher magar jane padti hai kidhar
uski rehmat ki nazar uski rehmat ki nazar
ye to allah ko khabar ye to maulla ko khabar
ye to allah ko khabar ye to maulla ko khabar

Millions of scholars, wise and learned, I've seen them fail,
While God's decree remains, a mystery veiled.
If you've come to dwell, your time on Earth to spend,
Then live your life, and let your journey mend.
With a heart so pure, have no fear of the end,
Where His grace will fall, where His mercy descend.
Only Allah knows, only the Master knows,
Only Allah knows, only the Master knows.

Why do games unravel before our eyes,
Why do blossoming gardens meet their demise?
The love-fed sapling, nurtured with such care,
From the same branch, the very flower dies.
A tyrant's child, a tyrant's child,
Robbing the wronged, stealing from the mire,
Only Allah knows, only the Master knows,
Only Allah knows, only the Master knows.

He, if He wills, can turn the darkest day,
He alone can alter destiny's sway.
If faith in Him, your very core defines,
From night's dark chest, the sun's bright light will rise.
Man knows not, man knows not,
Where lies his ultimate prize,
Only Allah knows, only the Master knows,
Only Allah knows, only the Master knows.

In what guise, at which turn, He might appear,
And blossom your hopes, banishing all fear.
The heartfelt plea, rising from your soul,
Has the power to move mountains, far and near.
Keep praying, keep praying,
When the answer will appear?
Only Allah knows, only the Master knows,
Only Allah knows, only the Master knows.

In the flames of oppression, He burns the oppressor,
In the flames of oppression, He burns the oppressor,
He rebuilt a laborer's home, restored the treasure.
Those who call upon His name, in humble prayer,
Never leave His court, with emptiness to bear.
Though His house may wait, though His house may wait,
Justice will be found, where His grace may pour,
Where His grace may pour,
Only Allah knows, only the Master knows,
Only Allah knows, only the Master knows.
