sada na bulbul nagamein gaaye, sada na fasale bahaara
sada na husn jawaani rehte, sada na sohbate yaara
rab jaane kis daaman ke liye kaun sa gul chunta hai
kehte hain sachche dil ki duwaaye juld khuda sunta hai

tera allaah nigehbaan tera maula nigehbaan
tera allaah nigehbaan tera maula nigehbaan
jaanewaale o jaanewaale, jaanewaale o jaanewaale
kiya tujhe hamane, kiya tujhe hamane khuda ke hawaale
jaanewaale o jaanewaale, jaanewaale o jaanewaale
tera allaah nigehbaan tera maula nigehbaan
tera allaah nigehbaan tera maula nigehbaan

koyi mushkil na aaye teri raahon mein
pohanche saath khairiyat ke apani manjil ki baahon mein
koyi mushkil na aaye teri raahon mein
pohanche saath khairiyat ke apani manjil ki baahon mein
tujhe teri manjil, tujhe teri manjil gale se lagaale
jaanewaale o jaanewaale, jaanewaale o jaanewaale
tera allaah nigehbaan tera maula nigehbaan
tera allaah nigehbaan tera maula nigehbaan

yeh belaus chaahat yeh bedaag naate
jahaan mein kahaan log aise nibhaate
tumhaari muhabbat bhula na sakunga
tumhaara yeh ehsaan chuka na sakunga
diye jindagi ke, diye jindagi ke tumhi ne ujaale
dilwaale o dilwaale, dilwaale o dilwaale
mera dil na chaahe, mera dil na chaahe ke tumse bida le
dilwaale o dilwaale, dilwaale o dilwaale

tu hai dil ke kareeb dur aankhon se
hum tanhaayiyon mein baatein kare teri yaadon se
tu hai dil ke kareeb dur aankhon se
hum tanhaayiyon mein baatein kare teri yaadon se
phul se dil bar, phul se dil bar pad gaye chhaale
jaanewaale o jaanewaale
sada khush rahe tu, sada khush rahe tu ye meri duwa le
jaanewaale o jaanewaale, jaanewaale o jaanewaale
tera allaah nigehbaan tera maula nigehbaan
tera allaah nigehbaan tera maula nigehbaan
tera allaah nigehbaan tera maula nigehbaan
tera allaah nigehbaan tera maula nigehbaan
tera allaah nigehbaan tera maula nigehbaan

Forever the nightingale does not sing,
Forever the spring's distance does not cling.
Forever youth's beauty cannot stay,
Forever friends cannot light the day.

The Lord knows for which garden, which bloom,
He chooses.
They say the heart's true prayers,
The Almighty soon chooses.

May Allah be your guardian,
May your Master be your keeper,
May Allah be your guardian,
May your Master be your keeper.
Departing one, O departing one,
We entrust you to God's care.
Departing one, O departing one,
May Allah be your guardian,
May your Master be your keeper.
May Allah be your guardian,
May your Master be your keeper.

May no hardship darken your path,
May you reach your destination's embrace,
With safe passage and after-math.
May you reach your destination's embrace.
May your destination, your destination embrace you.
Departing one, O departing one,
May Allah be your guardian,
May your Master be your keeper.
May Allah be your guardian,
May your Master be your keeper.

Such selfless love, pure, unblemished ties,
Where in this world do such exist,
In mortal eyes?
Your love, I cannot forget,
This kindness, I cannot repay.
The lights of life,
The lights of life, you gave to me.
O, you of heart, O, you of heart,
My heart does not desire, my heart does not desire, to bid farewell to you.
O, you of heart, O, you of heart.

You are close to the heart, though distant to the sight,
In solitude, we speak of you, your memories, our light.
You are close to the heart, though distant to the sight,
In solitude, we speak of you, your memories, our light.
From the beautiful one, from the beautiful one, wounds fell,
Departing one, O departing one,
Forever be happy, forever be happy, take this prayer of mine.
Departing one, O departing one,
May Allah be your guardian,
May your Master be your keeper.
May Allah be your guardian,
May your Master be your keeper.
May Allah be your guardian,
May your Master be your keeper.
May Allah be your guardian,
May your Master be your keeper.
May Allah be your guardian,
May your Master be your keeper.
