In this Urdu Song, HH Shri Bhola Nathji has written the yearning of a
real lover of God who wishes to see God remove the Veil from His Face,
and reveal Himself in His fullness.
A lover who is disenchanted with the world around him, as well as the Veil which God has placed over his Face.
Yes, God is very much there in the world, but because of the Veil He has placed upon Himself, there is so much of apparent sorrow and misery. Were He to remove the Veil there would be nothing but peace and happiness everywhere.
The yearning is a true prayer from the heart of a Lover of God, a real devotee, who has understood the mysteries of the world around him, and who knows that reaching God must be the goal of his existence upon earth.
Ab iss se aur zyaadaa pardaa na keeejiye
Ham jaan ba-lab hain saare, aisa na keejiye
VEIL THYSELF NOT ANY MORE THAN THOU HAST DONE,
OUR LAST BREATH IS ON OUR LIPS, NEVER DO THIS AGAIN,
Vo kaun hai ke jiss men itni ye taab hai
Iss maifile jahaan men rukhe zebaa na keejiye
WHO IS THERE IN THE WORLD WHO HAS THE COURAGE,
TO LOOK UPON THE RADIANCE OF THY FACE IN THIS WORLD
Khaake kadam milegi kismat nayi bane
pausheeda parda haa men ye paa na keejiye
THE DUST OF THY FOOTPRINTS WILL AWAKEN OUR DESTINY ANEW
STEP NOT AWAY INTO HIDING BEHIND THY HIDDEN VEIL
Jo sar jhuke hain saamne kitne hain kushnaseeb
Phir kaun ab kahega jalwaa na keejiye
THE HEADS WHICH ARE BOWED BEFORE THEE ARE SO FULL OF LUCK,
WHO SHALL SAY TO THEE TO KEEP BACK THY LIGHT DIVINE
Aansoo gire hain aankh se bechain dil meraa
Ab aur der kar ke dariyaa na keejiye
TEARDROPS FALL FROM MY EYES AND MY HEART IS RESTLESS,
LET THEM NOT TURN INTO A RIVER BY THY DELAY
Maidaane dil ke andar ye shaih savaar daurre
Ab unko rokne ka iraadaa na keejiye
IN THE FIELD OF THIS HEART THEY COME A-RIDING TOWARDS THEE,
PLEASE STOP THEM NOT FROM REACHING THEE
Ye bewafaa hai aalam khaabo khyaal hai,
Ab Nath iss se vaadaye eefaa na keejiye
THIS WORLD IS FULL OF BETRAYALS, A DREAM A TALE,
O NATH, LET US NOT BECOME ENTANGLED IN THIS ILLUSION AGAIN.
