Banda Jaa Raha

Meri Taqleef mein shaamil teri razaa hai,

Teri razaa mein mera raasta

Banda jaa raha.......,aree...... jaye kahaan,

Banda jal raha, aye mere maula,...........

Mera mujhse cheen kar,

Roop dikhaye tu anek,

Inme se kaunsa chunu,

Dhoondu mein , dekhta tu hai,............

Banda jaa raha, jaye kahaan,

Banda jal raha, aye merey maula...........,

Baton hi baton key pher mein,

Soch badalte rehtein hain,..........

Kabhi is ghar kabhi us ghar,

Raah badalte rehtein hain,

Inmein sey kaunsa chunu,

Dhoondu mein, Dekhta tu hai.

Banda jaa raha ....aree.....jayein kahan,

Banda jal raha aye mere maula...............

Your pleasure is found within my pain It is in your pleasure that my path is found

One can go, alas, but where should he go ? I am burning, Oh my lord!

My appearance is stolen from me

While you show me different faces

Which one should I choose?

I seek, while you observe

One can go, alas, but where should he go?

I am burning, Oh my lord!

Within the fold of conversation

Thoughts change frequently

Sometimes this house, sometimes that house

Paths change frequently

Which one should I choose?

I seek, while you observe

One can go, alas, but where should he go?

I am burning, Oh my lord!
