manum-maa nayaz-mandi ke be to nayyaazdaara
I am needy person, who needs you

gham-e-choon to naaz-nini behzaar naaz-dara
I will consider it my honor to accept the sorrow of a beloved like you

tuu-e- afataab, chashman wa jamaal tust roshan
You are the sun: my eye is alight with your beauty

agar ast-o-baazgeeram be ke chashm e aaz-daaram
if I giveup you , to whom will I go

yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha
kahin zahir kahin chhupa dekha
kahin mumkin huwa kahin wajib
kahin fani kahin baqa dekha
yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha

kahin zahir kahin chupa dekha
kahin woh baadshaah-e-takht nasheen
kahin kaasa liye gadaa dekha
yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha

kahin zahir kahin chupa dekha
kahin wo der libaas-e-mashokan
bar-sare naaz aur aada dekha
kahin zahir jahin chupa dekha
yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha

kahin aashiq niyaz ki soorat
seena Girya-o-dil jala dekha
yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha
kahin zahir kahin chupa dekha
yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha

Yaar Ko Hamne Ja Ba Ja Dekha [Translated in English]

I saw my beloved in all I saw,
At times revealed, hidden at times.
Been familiar with the issue of faith,
I saw the face of my beloved in all I saw.
At times a possibility, at times imperative,
At times ephemeral, at times eternal.
Inspired by the wish to see Himself,
He made Himself into every form.
He is the one who sees and hears
I saw no one other then Him.
Laughed gleefully through blooming flowers,
Crooned in nightingale’s melodious songs.
He took the forms of the candle and the moth,
And annihilated Himself in flames of His own.
At times claiming “I am the Truth”,
Witnessed his head raised on the Cross.
O ‘Niyaz’ He was beyond the bounds of `You’ and `Me’,
And yet I see Him in every `You’ and `Me’.
At times he behaved like unfamiliar,
At times I found him familiar with the face.
At times he is the emperor in power,
At times seen with a mendicant’s begging bowl.
At times, a devout worshipper,
Lord of rakes and drunkards at times.
At times in the beloved’s attire,
He was seen throwing up His charms.
At times as a lover like ‘Niyaz’,
He was seen beating his breast and heart aflame.

O Miyaan, O Allah…
1. Mann Nami goyam Analhaq yaar ni goyat go
Choon na goyam choon mera dildar ni goyat go
(I did not say that I am the Truth, my Friend said so.
And why shouldn’t I say so for my Beloved asked me to say so.)

2.Arrey logo tumhara kia, mein jaanoo’n mera khuda jaaney
Oh those who point fingers at me, why does it concern you?
It’s between me & my God
( and God sees in the soul not outer trappings)

3. Jo Zarr maango tou beyzarr hoon, jo sarr maango tou haazir hoon
Jo mukh moroon tou kaafir hoon, mein jaanoon mera khuda jaaney
If you want gold, I don’t have any, if you want my head,i gift my life for you,
“If I turn away my face (from trials of love), call me an infidel. It’s between me and my God.

4. Charha mansoor sooli par, jo wakif tha wohi dilbar
Arey mullah janaza parh, mein jaanoon mera khuda jaaney
Mansoor was hanged , only those who knew his love for God understood his total annihilation of himself in God’s love
O priests recite his funeral prayers, It’s between me & my God
( explanation : Mansoor Al-Hallaj was condemned to hang by the neck for shouting in ecstasy Anal-Haq, Anal-Haq (I am the Truth, I am the Truth). The orthodoxy understood this to mean that he was claiming to be God himself, whereas for him it was simply a total annihilation of himself. Mansoor Al-Hallaj climbed the gallows with his head held high, not the least daunted by his imminent death.)

5. Tumhi dilbar ho Sarwar ka, Tumhi ho pyara Haider ka
Pilaao jaam kausar ka, mein jaanoon mera khuda jaaney
(Mansoor ) you are the beloved of both the Prophet pbuh and Hazrat Ali
offer him a drink from kausar, it’s between me and my God
(Note : Sarwar is a title given to the prophet pbuh and means chief
Haider is title of Hazrat Ali and means lion
Hauzuʾl-Kausar is the fountain of abundance in Paradise. A drink from this on arrival makes one forget all bad experiences of life
jaam e Kausar – a cup from the fountain of kausar . )

6. Wohi ehsaan mujh per ker Ameer ul Mouminee’n Haider
Bulley ka sawaal poora ker, mein jaanoon mera khuda jaaney…
. Oh leader of the faithful, Ali , please offer a sip to Bulleh too and accept his supplication.
Main jaanun mera Khuda jaaney
