Come, Come, Whoever You Are

Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving. It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vow a thousand times. Come, yet again, come, come.

~Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi

Famous Naat "Humko Bulana" *Lyrics With English Translation* - Naat Khawn Owais Qadri


Hum ko bulana Ya Rasulallah
(Please invite us oh Messenger of Allah!)
Hum ko bulana Ya Habiballah
(Please invite us oh Beloved of Allah!)

Kabhi to subz gumbad ka ujala hum bhi dekhein ge
(Perhaps one day we too shall behold that luminous green Dome)
Hamein bulwaein ge aaqa madina hum bhi dekhaein ge
(Our master will invite us to Madina and we too shall see)

Dharak uthe ga ye dil ya dharkna bhool jaae ga
(This heart will beat so rapidly or moreover forget to beat at all!)
dil e bismil ka us dur pur tamasha hum bhi dekhein ge
(We shall behold the longing of our hearts on that doorstep)

Adab se haath baande un ke roze pur khare hon ge
(With our hands held respectfully at his resting place we will stand)
sunehri jaaliyon ka yun nazara hum bhi dekhein ge
(In this way we shall set our sights upon the golden sheaths and we too shall see)

Dar e dolat se lotaya nahi jaata koi khali
(For the one who arrives at the abode of wealth shall never leave empty-handed)
wahan khairat ka butna khudara hum bhi dekhein ge
(Perhaps there we too shall witness this bounty one day)

Barasti gumbad e khazra se takrati hui boondein
(The falling raindrops that cascade upon the green Dome)
wahan pur shan se baarish barasna hum bhi dekhein ge
(The place where rain falls with dignity one day we too shall see)

Guzare raat din apne issi ummeed pur hum ne
(Days and nights have been spent in this very anticipation)
kisi din to jamal e roo e zeba hum bhi dekhein ge
(Perchance one of these days we too shall see that beautiful, graceful soul)

Dum e rukhsat qadam mun bhar ke hain mehsoos karte hain
(The beating of this heart as it leaves those steps I can feel wholeheartedly)
kise hai jaa ke lot aane ka yaara hum bhi dekhein ge
(Some must go and return and this too we shall see)

Pohonch jaaein ge jis din ae ujagur un ke qadmon mein
(We will reach the day when we will appear before his luminous steps)
kise kehtein hain jannat ka nazara hum bhi dekhein ge
(What they describe as a Heavenly sight, perhaps one day we too shall see)

Hum ko bulana Ya Rasulallah
(Please invite us oh Messenger of Allah!)
Hum ko bulana Ya Habiballah
(Please invite us oh Beloved of Allah!)
