teri zaat hai akbari sarwari
meri hi baat kyu der itni kari
meri hi baat kyu der itni kari
tera naam hai akbar parwardigaar
teri rahmaton ka nahi kuchh shumaar
tu chahe to ho ?
meri hi baat kyu der itni kari
teri zaat hai akbari sarwari
meri hi baat kyu der itni kari

suna tha mohabbat me tera nur hai
tera nur kyu aaj majbur hai
tu chaahe to sukhe bhi kar de hari
meri hi baat kyu der itni kari
teri zaat hai akbari sarwari

nigaaho me aansu, duaao me aansu
fijaao me aansu, hawao me aansu
ae duniya meri aansu se bani
meri hi baat kyu der itni kari

Your essence, a royal decree,
Why tarries my plea, endlessly?
Why such delay, this agony?
Your name, the Great Sustainer's art,
Your mercies, a boundless, sacred heart.
If You will it, then it shall be.
Why tarries my plea, endlessly?
Your essence, a royal decree,
Why such delay, this agony?

They say Love's light doth shine in Thee,
Why dimmed, this radiance, I can't see?
You hold the power, barren, green to decree.
Why tarries my plea, endlessly?
Your essence, a royal decree.

Tears in my gaze, in prayers they seep,
In every breeze, these sorrows keep,
From tear-stained dust, my world is spun,
Why tarries my plea, undone?
