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!
