Yeh Dil Sochta Hai, Yeh Dil Khojta Hai

This heart ponders, this heart searches.

Pata Nai Yeh Kya Hai , Pata Nai Yeh Kya Hai

I do not know what this is, I do not know what this is.

Hijabon Ke Aandar Hijabon Se Bahar Nakabon Ke Aandar Nakabon Se Bahar Nazar Jo Na Akar Nazar Aa Raha Hai

Within the veils and beyond the veils, Inside the masks and outside the masks, The One who, without appearing, is being seen.

Yeh Kis Ki Zaban Se Khuda Bolta Hai Yeh Kiska Hai Lehja Yeh Kiski Sada Hai Chupa Kaun Hai Aur Kaun Zahir Hua Hai

Through whose tongue does God speak? Whose tone is this, whose voice is this? Who is hidden, and who has manifested?

Tum Apni Nazar Se Ali Ko Na Dekho Ali Ko Samajhne Se Pehle Yeh Samjho Jo Marte Hue Shafaie (La) Keh Gaya Hai

Do not view Ali through your own limited sight; Before trying to understand Ali, understand this: What he said while departing (the 'La' of negation).

Ke Ho Kibriya Ya Ke Ho Woh Payambar Woh Ho Sayada Ya Ho Shabbir O Shabbar Hai Inke Siva Kaun Kispar Khula Hai

Whether it be the Almighty or the Prophet, Whether it be the Lady (Fatima) or Shabbir (Hussain) and Shabbar (Hasan), Who is there besides them, and to whom has it been revealed?

Yeh Ismat Ki Wahdat Khuda Ki Haqikat Wali Ki Sifat Ambia Ki Haqikat Khuda Ki Kasam Bas Yehi Jaanta Hai

This is the unity of infallibility, the reality of God, The attribute of the Wali (Ali), the reality of the Prophets; By God, only He knows this.

Samajh Me To Aajaie Tab Woh Ali Hai Khuda To Khuda Hai Ali To Ali Hai Nusairi Ko Aakhir Yeh Kya Ho Gya Hai

If He comes within understanding, then He is Ali; God is God, and Ali is Ali; What has finally happened to the Nusairi (extremist)?

Yeh Kaabe Ke Deewar Me Dar Bana Ke Ghar Apna Samajh Kar Yeh Ghar Me Khuda Ke Khuda To Nahi Hai Yeh Kaun Aaraha Hai

By creating an entrance in the wall of the Kaaba, Considering it His own home within the House of God, He is not God, but who is this who is coming?

Jise Apni Bistar Pe Aaie Sulakar Falak Pe Yeh Dekha Mohammad Ne Aakar Wahan To Ali Tha Yahan Par Yeh Kya Hai

The one whom he (the Prophet) came and put to sleep on his own bed, Muhammad saw him upon the heavens when he arrived; Ali was there, so what is this here?

Naved Aur Sarwar Khuda Jaanta Hai Yeh Asrar E Tawheed Kispar Khula Hai Fakat Sochna Hai Fakat Sochna Hai

Naved and Sarwar, God knows, To whom this secret of Divine Unity has been revealed; It is only to ponder, it is only to ponder.
