gham-e-zaat se maavara kar gaye
mujhe aapse aashna kar gaye
gham-e-zaat se maavara kar gaye

ghadi bhar meri baat kya maan li
wo bande ko jaise khuda kar gaye
wo bande ko jaise khuda kar gaye
mujhe aapse aashna kar gaye

raho rasam duniya utha ker chale
raho rasam duniya utha ker chale
raho rasam duniya utha ker chale
raho rasam ulfat nibha kar gaye
raho rasam ulfat nibha kar gaye
mujhe aapse aashna kar gaye
gham-e-zaat se maavara kar gaye

kaha ke hum aise the ba ikhtiyar
kaha ke hum aise the ba ikhtiyar
kaha ke hum aise the ba ikhtiyar
wo mukhtaar ko kya se kya kar gaye
wo mukhtaar ko kya se kya kar gaye
mujhe aapse aashna kar gaye
gham-e-zaat se maavara kar gaye
gham-e-zaat se maavara kar gaye

They buried me, beyond the self's despair,
they buried me, beyond the self's despair,
And with you, my heart, they made me aware.
They buried me, beyond the self's despair.

For a moment, they heeded my fragile plea,
For a moment, they heeded my fragile plea,
For a moment, they heeded my fragile plea,
And transformed a mere mortal to divinity.
And transformed a mere mortal to divinity.
And with you, my heart, they made me aware.
They buried me, beyond the self's despair.

The world's worn customs, they lifted and fled,
The world's worn customs, they lifted and fled,
The world's worn customs, they lifted and fled,
Their covenant of love, they tenderly bred.
Their covenant of love, they tenderly bred.
And with you, my heart, they made me aware.
They buried me, beyond the self's despair.

They said, "We were sovereign, by will's decree,"
They said, "We were sovereign, by will's decree,"
They said, "We were sovereign, by will's decree,"
And changed the chosen, for all to see.
And changed the chosen, for all to see.
And with you, my heart, they made me aware.
They buried me, beyond the self's despair.
They buried me, beyond the self's despair.
