jab kisi se koi gila rakhna
jab kisi se koi gila rakhna
samne apne aaina rakhna
samne apne aaina rakhna
jab kisi se koi gila rakhna

yu ujalo se wasta rakhna
yu ujalo se wasta rakhna
shamma ke paas hi hawa rakhna
shamma ke paas hi hawa rakhna
samne apne aaina rakhna
jab kisi se koi gila rakhna

ghar ki taameer chahe jaisi ho
ghar ki taameer chahe jaisi ho
isme rone ki jageh rakhna
samne apne aaina rakhna
jab kisi se koi gila rakhna

masjide hai namaaziyo ke liye
masjide hai namaaziyo ke liye
apne ghar me kahi khuda rakhna
apne ghar me kahi khuda rakhna

milan-julna jahan zaruri ho
milan-julna jahan zaruri ho
milne-julne ki hauslaa rakhna
milne-julne ki hauslaa rakhna
samne apne aaina rakhna
jab kisi se koi gila rakhna

When grievance stirs, a bitter seed,
When grievance stirs, a bitter seed,
Hold before you, the looking glass,
Hold before you, the looking glass,
When grievance stirs, a bitter seed.

Embrace the light, its radiant grace,
Embrace the light, its radiant grace,
And keep the air, near the burning flame,
And keep the air, near the burning flame,
Hold before you, the looking glass,
When grievance stirs, a bitter seed.

Though the house be built, its walls defined,
Though the house be built, its walls defined,
Leave a space, for tears to reside,
Leave a space, for tears to reside,
Hold before you, the looking glass,
When grievance stirs, a bitter seed.

The mosque, a haven for the bowed,
The mosque, a haven for the bowed,
Yet in your home, let God be found,
Yet in your home, let God be found.

Where fellowship is duty's call,
Where fellowship is duty's call,
Hold courage close, to meet them all,
Hold courage close, to meet them all,
Hold before you, the looking glass,
When grievance stirs, a bitter seed.
