You are the Lord of the two worlds, you are to be worshipped

all creations are your witnesses because you are to be witnessed.

On every lip is your praise and eulogy

you are present in all passions and all music.

All beginnings begin with your name

and all the [blessings] end with your name.

Your praise is praiseworthy

because you are the God of my Muhammad.

Sufi mystic chants.

ye zamiin jab na thii, ye jahaaN jab na thaa

chaaNd suraj na the, aasmaaN jab na thaa

raaz-e-haq bhii kisii par ayaaN jab na thaa

jab na thaa kuch yahaaN, thaa magar tuu hi tuu

The time when there was neither land nor the world

nor moon, sun or the sky,

[and] when truth was not known to anyone.

At that time there was nothing except you.

pahuNche meraaj meN arsh tak Mustafaa

jab na maabuud-o-bande meN pardaa rahaa

tab malaaik ne Hazrat se chhup kar kahaa

saarii maKhluuq meN haq-numaa tuu hii tuu

When Mustafa (another name of Prophet Muhammad) ascended to heavens

[and] when there was no veil between the master and the servant.

Then the angels said secretly to the Prophet

that of all the creations, only he was truth-like.

kyuuN piyaa ibn-e-Haider ne jaam-e-fanaa?

Khaal khichvaa’ii Tabrez ne kyuuN bhalaa?

daar par chaRh kar Mansoor ne kyaa kahaa?

sab banaa ke khilone rahaa tuu hii tuu

Why the son of Haider drank the cup of annihilation?

Why Tabrez agreed to be skinned alive?

What Mansoor said on the gallows?

After making all these toys, you remained the same.

Khaaliq-e-kul hai tuu ismeN kyaa guftuguu

saare aalam ko hai teri hi justujuu

teri jalvaagarii hai ayaaN chahaar-suu

laa shariikaa lahuu, maalik-e-mulk tuu

There is no argument that you are the master of all

[and] the whole world pines for you.

Your splendor is obvious everywhere

No one can be associated to you, you are the master of the world.

har shai tere jamaal kii aaiinaa-daar hai

har shai pukaartii hai tuu parvardigaar hai

Every creation reflect your glory

all creations chant that you are the Lord.

terii rabuubiyat kii adaa ko kamaal hai

tuu rabb-e-qaaynaat hai, tuu laa-zavaal hai

The beauty of your Lordship is perfect

you are the Lord of the Universe, you are without decline.

tuu jo har aan nayii shaan dikhaa detaa hai

diidaa-e-shauq ko hairaaan banaa detaa hai

Daalii Daalii terii takhliiq ke gun gaatii hai

pattaa pattaa terii qudrat kaa pataa detaa hai

You, the one who glows with new radiance every moment

[and] perplex the yearning eyes.

All the branches [of trees] sing praise of your creation

[and] all the leaves lead to your omnipotence.

laa ilaahaa terii shaan yaa! vaadahuu

tuu Khayaal-o-tajassus, tuu hii aarzuu

aaNkh kii roshnii, dil kii aavaaz

thaa bhii tuu, hai bhii tuu, hogaa bhii tuu

There is no one like you and that is your grandeur, O! the unique one

you are the imagination and inquisitiveness, you are the wish

you are the light [and] the voice of heart

you were there, you are there and you will be there.
