allah bhi hai mallah bhi hai
allah bhi hai mallah bhi hai
kashti hai ki dubi jati hai
allah bhi hai mallah bhi hai

ham dub to jayenge lekin
dono hi pe tohmat aati hai
allah bhi hai mallah bhi hai

ik shama ghiri hai aandhi me
bujhti bhi nahi jalti bhi nahi
shamshir-e-mohabbat kya kahiye
rukti bhi nahi chalti bhi nahi
majbur mohabbat rah rah kar
har saans thokar khati hai
allah bhi hai maulah bhi hai

ek khwab najar sa aaya tha
kuchh dekh liya kuchh tut gaya
ek teer jigar par khaya tha
kuchh dub gaya kuchh tut gaya
kuchh dub gaya kuchh tut gaya
kya maut ki aamad aamad hai
kya maut ki aamad aamad hai
kyun nind si aai jati hai
allah bhi hai mallah bhi hai

God is the sea, and God the oarsman too,
The vessel founders, what is it to do?
God is the sea, and God the oarsman too,
Though we may drown, the blame will cling to two,
God is the sea, and God the oarsman too.

A candle caught within a raging gale,
It cannot die, nor can it quite prevail.
The sword of love, a paradox we face,
It cannot cease, yet cannot find its pace.
Compelled by love, we stumble and we fall,
Each breath a blow, we answer to the call,
God is the sea, and God the oarsman too.

A fleeting dream, a vision in the night,
Some seen, some lost to fading, fading light.
An arrow struck, within the heart it found,
Some sunk, some shattered, on the hallowed ground.
Some sunk, some shattered, and the end is near,
The touch of death, is it the end we fear?
The touch of death, is it the end we fear?
Why does this slumber ever draw me near?
God is the sea, and God the oarsman too.
