gardisho mein rahti gujrati
jindagi aahe kitni inme se ek hai
teri meri aakhari koi ek jaisi apni
par khuda kahair kar aisa anjaam
kisi rooh kar aisa anjaam
kisi rooh ko na de kabhi yaha
jugha muskurata hai kyo waqt
se pahle kyo chhod chala tera ye jaha
ek lau is tarah kyo bujhi mere maula
ek lau jindagi ki maula
ek lau is tarah kyo bujhi mere maula
ek lau jindagi ki maula

dhoop ke ujale si puns ki pyale si
khushiya mile ham ko jayada manga hai kaha
sarahade na ho jaha duniya mile ham ko
par khuda khair kar uske arma mein kyo
bevajaha ho koi kurban gujha muskurata hai kyo
waqt se pahle kyo chhod chala tera ye jaha
ek lau is tarah kyo bujhi mere maula
ek lau jindagi ki maula ek lau is tarah kyo
bujhi mere maula ek lau jindagi ki maula

ek lau is tarah kyo bujhi mere maula
ek lau jindagi ki maula ek lau is tarah kyo
bujhi mere maula ek lau jindagi ki maula
ek lau is tarah kyo bujhi mere maula
ek lau jindagi ki maula ek lau is tarah kyo
bujhi mere maula ek lau jindagi ki maula

Through whirlwinds, life does tread,
Aching whispers, of these, one is dread.
Yours, mine, a final, a shared thread,
But God, grant grace, such an end,
To no soul, ever extend.
Why does the unseen laugh,
Before time, why does it cleave, your world to its path?
A flame extinguished, my Lord, why so?
A flame, life's essence, oh!
A flame extinguished, my Lord, why so?
A flame, life's essence, oh!

Like sunlight, like cups of dawn,
More joys we sought, where had we gone wrong?
Boundaries erased, a world to embrace,
But God, grant grace, why in desire's chase,
Does innocence sacrifice, without trace?
Why does the unseen laugh,
Before time, why does it cleave, your world to its path?
A flame extinguished, my Lord, why so?
A flame, life's essence, oh! A flame extinguished, my Lord, why so?
A flame, life's essence, oh!

A flame extinguished, my Lord, why so?
A flame, life's essence, oh! A flame extinguished, my Lord, why so?
A flame, life's essence, oh!
A flame extinguished, my Lord, why so?
A flame, life's essence, oh! A flame extinguished, my Lord, why so?
A flame, life's essence, oh!
