ab mai hu ek man mohji tu ban ja, man mojaniya ho ho ho ho
sun sun mere man mohji mai teri hu sajaniya
tu kar de ek ishara mai chhod u sari duniya ho ho ho

Once, Abdul Rahman existed, true, yes,
and Abdul Rahmania was there.
Now you are a free spirit, I become your muse, ho ho ho.
Listen, my free spirit, I am your beloved.
Give but a sign, and I'll forsake the world, ho ho ho.

They call me a madman, a vagrant, useless, think carefully.
You've made this desolate soul your support, think carefully.
When did I ask for the Taj Mahal? When did I ask for it?
You gave me love when I asked, you gave me love when I asked.
Listen, my Shah Jahan of the heart, I am your devoted Shahjahaniya,
your Shahjahaniya, your Shahjahaniya.
Once, Abdul Rahman existed, and Abdul Rahmania was there.
Now you are a free spirit, I am your muse, ho ho ho.

My king, bring me glass bangles,
my king, bring me glass bangles.
I ask for no promises of gold or silver.
Our joys and sorrows, half and half.
My king, bring me glass bangles,
my king, bring me glass bangles.
The love of the poor is unique to the world,
great intentions with empty pockets.
The love of the poor is unique to the world,
great intentions with empty pockets.
If you give me with love, I cherish your two coins,
your two coins, your two coins.
Once, Abdul Rahman existed, and Abdul Rahmania was there.
Now you are a free spirit, I am your muse, ho ho ho.
Listen, my free spirit, I am your beloved.
Give but a sign, and I'll forsake the world, ho ho ho.
