Tamanna muddaton se hai Jamaal-e-Mustafa dekhoon
‘This is longtime desire — to sight the beauty of Mustafa
Imam-ul-Ambiya dekhoon, Habeeb-e-Kibriya dekhoon
Want to see the leader of messengers, beloved of God
Woh jinke dam qadam se subah ne bhi roshni payee
He because of whom even the morning got its lustre
Munawwar kar diya jisne faza woh rahnuma dekhoon
Want to see that leader who enlightened the environment
Woh jinki barkato abr-o-bara baste ‘aalam mein
He whose blessings and abundance fills this world
Tamanna qalb-e-muztar ki woh durr-e-bebaha dekhoon
My troubled heart wants to view that precious pearl
Qadam bahir Madine se tasawwur mein Madina hai
Steps are outside Madinah but the heart — firmly there
Ilahi, ya Ilahi azmaton ki intiha dekhoon
Lord, O my Lord, I want to see the limits of grandeur
Ye duniya besubaat-o-bewafa-o-gham ka gehwara
This world is baseless, treacherous and an abode of sorrow
Ye hai matloob dar-e-be-wafayee mein wafa dekhoon
The intention is to get a sight of loyalty at the door of betrayal
Woh mabda khalq-e-’alam ka durood unpar salaam unpar
He the first of creations, peace and blessings upon him
Mere Maula ye mauqa de ke Khatm-ul-Ambiya dekhoon
O Lord give me an opportunity, I want to see the last Prophet
Kabhi ho husn ke mehfil kabhi ho shauq ka manzar
Some times the meeting of beauty, some times indulgent views
Kabhi aansoo ki zanjeeron mein aashiq ki sada dekhoon
Sometimes in the chains of tears, I want to sight lover’s call
Rasoolun Qasimul khairaati fid dunya wa fil uqba
The messenger, distributor of bounties in this world and the hereafter
Shafiq az nafs-e-ma dar ma Nabi-e-Mujtaba dekhoon
I do want to see Prophet Mujtaba, the intercessor of my wretched self
Dar-e-jannat pe haazir hoon Rasool-e-Pak ke hamrah
Want to reach the gate of Jannah together with the Holy Prophet
Shafa’at ka ye manzar ya khudaya mey Raza dekhoon
O Lord of mine, I do want to witness this scene of intercession
