Hum ko Bulana Ya RasulAllah

Hum ko bulana Ya Rasulallah

Hum ko bulana Ya Habiballah

Please invite us oh Messenger of Allah!

Please invite us oh Beloved of Allah!

Kabhi to sabz gumbad ka ujaala hum bhi dekhenge

Hum-e bulwayenge aaqa Madinah hum bhi dekhenge

Perhaps one day we too shall behold that luminous green Dome

Our master will invite us to Madinah and we too shall see

Dharak uthega dil ya dharakna bhool jayega

Dil-e-bismil ka uss dar par tamasha hum bhi dekhenge

This heart will beat so rapidly or even forget to beat at all!

We shall behold the longing of our hearts on that doorstep

Adab se haath baandhe unke rawze par khare hoonge

Sunehri jaliyon ka yun nazara hum bhi dekhenge

With our hands held respectfully at his resting place we will stand

In this way we shall set our sights upon the golden sheaths and

we too shall see

Dar-e-dawlat se lawtaya nahin jaata koi khaali

Wahan khayrat ka batna khudaya hum bhi dekhenge

For the one who arrives at the abode of wealth shall never leave

empty-handed

Perhaps there we too shall witness this bounty one day

Barasti gumbad-e-khizra se takrati huwi bundhe

Wahan par shaan se baarish barasna hum bhi dekhenge

The falling raindrops that cascade upon the green Dome

The place where rain falls with dignity one day we too shall see

Guzaare raat din apne isi umeed par humne

Kissi din to jamal-e-ru e zeba hum bhi dekhenge

Days and nights have been spent in this very anticipation

Perchance one of these days we too shall see that beautiful, graceful soul

Dum-e-rukhsat qadam man bharke hain mehsoos karte he

Kisse he jaake lawt aane ka yaara hum bhi dekhenge

The beating of this heart as it leaves those steps I can feel wholeheartedly

Some must go and return, and this too we shall see

Pohonch jayenge jiss din e ujaagar unke qadmon me

Kisse kehte hain jannat ka nazara hum bhi dekhenge

We will reach the day when we will appear before his Blessed feet

What they describe as a heavenly sight, perhaps one day we too shall see

Hum ko bulana Ya Rasulallah

Hum ko bulana Ya Habiballah

Please invite us oh Messenger of Allah!

Please invite us oh Beloved of Allah!
