chaaro taraf chaaro taraf chaaro taraf
nur-un-alaa nur-un-alaa nur-un-alaa nur

ye barq-e-tajalli andhero ko chirati

yaha bhi tu vaha bhi tu ye roshani kya roshani

tere siwa koyi hai ke puchhu
tere siwa koyi hai ke puchhu
andhero se puchha to chup ho gaye chup ho gaye
ujaalo se puchha to sharma gaye sharma gaye
parindo se puchha, parindo se puchha kaha parwaaz hai
khamoshi se puchha kaha aawaaz hai
phulo se patto se, phulo se patto se rango se aayi sadaa
chaaro taraf chaaro taraf

yaha bhi tu vaha bhi tu ye roshani kya roshani

uthaayi chilman to dekha jalwa tera
uthaayi chilman to dekha jalwa tera
badhaaya qadam to manzil teri manzil teri
uthaayi nazar to surat teri surat teri
bhanware ki gun-gun me, bhanware ki gun-gun me
kangan ki khan-khan me, aashiq ke tan-man me
birhan ke nainan me, taano me sargam me
taano me sargam me bas tu hai tu hi tu
nur-un-alaa nur-un-alaa nur-un-alaa nur
nur-un-alaa nur-un-alaa nur-un-alaa nur

dil ki diwaanagi man ki aawaaragi tu
dil ki diwaanagi man ki aawaaragi tu
dur leke chal tu
kuchh puchh na tu kuchh puchh na tu
jindagi ek raaz thi ek raaz hai ek raaz hai
jaan kar hoga kya
jaan kar hoga kya kisne hai jaana
koyi kahe mohabbat koyi ibaadat
diwaanagi kahe chaahe junun
diwaanagi kahe chaahe junun chaahat hi teri ada

All around, all around, all around,
Light upon light, Light upon light, Light upon light.

This lightning flash cleaves the dark,
This lightning flash cleaves the dark.
Here, You; there, You – what is this light?

Beyond You, is there another I can ask?
Beyond You, is there another I can ask?
I asked the shadows, they fell silent, silent.
I asked the light, it blushed, it blushed.
I asked the birds, I asked the birds, where does flight reside?
I asked the silence, where does sound abide?
From flowers and leaves, from flowers and leaves, from colors, a call arose,
All around, all around,
Light upon light, Light upon light, Light upon light.
This lightning flash cleaves the dark,
Here, You; there, You – what is this light?

I lift the veil, and see Your radiance.
I lift the veil, and see Your radiance.
I take a step, and find Your destination.
I lift my gaze, and see Your form.
In the bumblebee's hum, in the bangles' chime,
In the lover's body and soul, in the lover's body and soul,
In the bereft's eyes, in the notes of a song,
In the notes of a song, You are, You alone.
Light upon light, Light upon light, Light upon light.

The heart’s madness, the mind’s wandering, You,
The heart’s madness, the mind’s wandering, You,
Carry me far, You.
Ask nothing, ask nothing.
Life was a secret, is a secret, is a secret.
What will knowing bring?
What will knowing bring? Who has truly known?
Some call it love, some call it worship.
Some call it madness, some call it passion.
Some call it madness, some call it passion, Your love is the way.
Light upon light, Light upon light, Light upon light.
This lightning flash cleaves the dark,
This lightning flash cleaves the dark.
Here, You; there, You – what is this light?
Light upon light, Light upon light, Light!
