mujhi me chhup kar mujhi se dur
ye kaisaa dastur re maalik ye kaisaa dastur
mujhi me chhup kar mujhi se dur
ye kaisaa dastur re maalik ye kaisaa dastur

maine man ki aankho se to
dekhaa hai sau baar tujhe
maine man ki aankho se to
dekhaa hai sau baar tujhe
lekin tan ki aankho se bhi
darshan de ek baar mujhe
darshan de phir chhin le ankhiyaan
ye mujhko majur re maalik ye mujhko majur
mujhi me chhup kar mujhi se dur
ye kaisaa dastur re maalik ye kaisaa dastur

chali havaa jab tan ko chhu kar
maine tujhe pahachaan liyaa
chali havaa jab tan ko chhu kar
maine tujhe pahachaan liyaa
tujh bin komal haath ye kisakaa
hogaa maine jaan liyaa
dhup havaa sab rup hai tere sab me teraa nur
re maalik sab me teraa nur
mujhi me chhup kar mujhi se dur
ye kaisaa dastur re maalik ye kaisaa dastur

sachche dil se naam lun teraa
nirdhan ki yahi pujaa hai
sachche dil se naam lun teraa
nirdhan ki yahi pujaa hai
andhiyaare me saathi koi aur na tum bin dujaa hai
teri khushi me khush hai daataa ham bande majabur
re maalik ham bande majabur
mujhi me chhup kar mujhi se dur
ye kaisaa dastur re maalik ye kaisaa dastur

Hidden within, yet distant from my core,
A strange decree, O Lord, forevermore.
Hidden within, yet distant from my core,
A strange decree, O Lord, forevermore.

With eyes of mind, a hundred times I've sought,
A vision of your form, divinely wrought.
With eyes of mind, a hundred times I've sought,
A vision of your form, divinely wrought.
But grant my flesh these mortal eyes to see,
A glimpse of you, and then, if so, take me.
Take back these eyes, their fleeting sight, I'll bear,
If in your grace, O Lord, you truly care.
Hidden within, yet distant from my core,
A strange decree, O Lord, forevermore.

When breezes soft my earthly form embrace,
In that sweet touch, I recognize your face.
When breezes soft my earthly form embrace,
In that sweet touch, I recognize your face.
Whose gentle hand would caress with such art?
I know it's you, you touch my beating heart.
Sunlight, and wind, all manifestations of you,
Your light pervades, in all that sees and do.
O Lord, your light pervades, shining through,
Hidden within, yet distant from my core,
A strange decree, O Lord, forevermore.

With truthful heart, I chant your holy name,
For the poor soul, this is my only claim.
With truthful heart, I chant your holy name,
For the poor soul, this is my only claim.
In darkest night, no other friend I see,
But you alone, my sole reality.
In your delight, we find our humble bliss,
We, your frail servants, caught in this.
O Lord, we, your humble servants, this is our plight,
Hidden within, yet distant from my core,
A strange decree, O Lord, forevermore.
