ya elahi ho mubarak tujko ye tera jaha
dil ki barbadi pe yaha bazti hai sahnaiya
ya elahi ho mubarak

mai vo bulbul hu ke jiska aashiyana lut gya
aashiyana lut gya
mai vo bulbul hu ke jiska aashiyana lut gya
aashiyana lut gya
aarzu me mit gayi dil ka khajana lut gaya
dil ka khajana lut gaya
fasle gulani se pahle aa gayi fasle faza
dil ki barbadi pe yaha bazti hai sahnaiya
ya elahi ho mubarak

haye kis manjil pe lai meri barbadi mujhe
meri barbadi mujhe
haye kis manjil pe lai meri barbadi mujhe
meri barbadi mujhe
chand suraj kah rahe hai aaj pariya di mujhe
aaj pariya di mujhe
meri bebsi par matam kar raha hai aasama
dil ki barbadi pe yaha bazti hai sahnaiya
ya elahi ho mubarak

To You, O God, this world of Yours, a celebration,
While on hearts' ruins, wedding horns resound.
To You, O God, a celebration.

I am the nightingale, whose nest is plundered now,
Whose nest is plundered.
I am the nightingale, whose nest is plundered now,
Whose nest is plundered.
In yearning, all my heart's treasure is lost,
Heart's treasure is lost.
Before the spring's bloom, autumn's harvest came,
While on hearts' ruins, wedding horns resound.
To You, O God, a celebration.

Alas, to what a fate has my ruin led me,
My ruin led me.
Alas, to what a fate has my ruin led me,
My ruin led me.
Sun and moon, they cry for my lament,
Cry for my lament.
The heavens mourn my helplessness,
While on hearts' ruins, wedding horns resound.
To You, O God, a celebration.
