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!
