ek farishta mil gaya hai roop me insan ke
lage jana pahchana bin jaan pahchan ke
tera lakh lakh sukariya oye raba meriya
tera lakh lakh sukariya oye raba meriya
ek farishta mil gaya hai roop me insan ke
lage jana pahchana bin jaan pahchan ke

maine ek ghayal panchhi pe kitne teer chala diye
uske sad pe jisne mere has kar julm bhula diye
karti rahi mai usse sawalo pe sawal
kya uske dil pe gujari na iska raha khyal
use kitne de diye gam badle ahsan ke
ek farishta mil gaya hai roop me insan ke

itni bulandi chhu kar jisme naam nahi abhiman ka
bas logo se jikar suna tha aise nek insan ka
uska fasana likhu jiski nahi misal
rab ne ye mauka deke mujhe kar diya nihal
use sajde karna chahe dil mera rab maan ke
ek farishta mil gaya hai roop me insan ke
lage jana pahchana bin jaan pahchan ke
tera lakh lakh sukariya oye raba meriya
ek farishta mil gaya hai roop me insaan ke

An angel found, in mortal guise,
Familiar face, though unseen eyes.
A thousand thanks, O Lord above,
A thousand thanks for endless love.
An angel found, in mortal guise,
Familiar face, though unseen eyes.

On a wounded bird, I launched my flight,
Of arrows aimed, in darkest night.
He bore my sins, with gentle grace,
Forgave the wrongs, left not a trace.
I questioned him, with cruel intent,
His heart's distress, I never lent
A thought, a care, to ease his pain,
Exchanged his kindness, for a rain
Of sorrows deep, for favors given.
An angel found, in mortal heaven.

He reached the heights, where pride is lost,
Of humble soul, at any cost.
His tale, I heard, in whispers light,
Of noble heart, and purest sight.
To write his story, without compare,
The Lord's embrace, beyond all prayer.
My heart now yearns, in reverence deep,
To worship him, my soul to keep.
An angel found, in mortal guise,
Familiar face, though unseen eyes.
A thousand thanks, O Lord above,
An angel found, in endless love.
