shame malang si, raate surang si
baghi udan pe hi, na jaane kyu
ilahi mera ji aaye aaye, ilahi mera ji aaye aaye
sar pe sawal hain, jina filhal hain
khanabadoshiyo pe hi jaane kyu
ilahi mera ji aaye aaye, ilahi mera ji aaye aaye

mera falsafa kandhe pe mera basta
chala main jaha le chala mujhe rasta
phulo pe nahi bundo ke samundar pe
ilahi mera ji aaye aaye, ilahi mera ji aaye aaye

shame malang si, raate surang si
baghi udan pe hi na jaane kyu
ilahi mera ji aaye aaye, ilahi mera ji aaye aaye
ilahi ilahi

Evening, a dervish's dance, nights, tunnels of gleam,
A rebel's flight, aloft, and the reason's unseen.
My heart cries out, to the Divine, it cries and it yearns,
A question upon my brow, existence that burns.
Why wander the earth, a nomad's embrace?
My heart cries out, to the Divine, in this transient space.

My philosophy, a satchel upon my shoulder,
Wherever the path leads, I grow ever bolder.
Not on flowers, but the ocean of drops, I stride,
My heart cries out, to the Divine, as the tides collide.

Evening, a dervish's dance, nights, tunnels of gleam,
A rebel's flight, aloft, and the reason's unseen.
My heart cries out, to the Divine, it cries and it yearns,
To the Divine, to the Divine, my spirit returns.
