The song explores the question of whether love is a blessing or a curse, an affliction or a source of joy. It suggests that love is a powerful force that can transform individuals and guide them towards a deeper understanding of life.



..hmm..

tum poochhte ho, ishq balaa, hai ke nahee.n hai....

jeene kaa hunar sab ko, seekhaataa hai yahee ishq,
ALL ARE TAUGHT THE ART OF LIVING BY THIS VERY LOVE,


insaan ko insaan, banaataa hai yahee ishq,
MANKIND IS MADE HUMAN BY THIS VERY LOVE,


bande ko Khuda kar ke, dikhaataa hai yahee ishq,
GOD SHOWS THE DEVOTEE THE WAY TO THIS VERY LOVE,


is ishq kee, tauheen Khataa hai ke nahee.n, hai

maanaa hai ba.Dee dard, bharee ishq kee rudaad,
AGREED, THAT VERY PAINFUL IS THE TALE OF LOVE,

EVEN AFTER BEING EFFACED, WHAT’S NEVER RUINED, IS LOVE,

FORGET ABOUT THRIVING AND PROSPERING AT TIMES, 

sar ishq ke qadmo.n pe, jhukaa kar kabhee dekho,

BOW YOUR HEAD AT LOVE’S FEET AT TIMES, 


ghar-baar muhabbat me.n, luTaa kar kabhee dekho,
GIVE UP MATERIALSM FOR LOVE'S SAKE AT TIMES, 

khone me.n bhee paane kaa mazaa hai ke nahee.n, hai
IN DECLUTTERING, IS THERE THE PLEASURE OF GAINING OR NOT?


tum poochhte ho, ishq balaa, hai ke nahee.n,

tuu ne saleeb par bhee, ‘eesa kee jaa.n bachaayee,
YOU SAVED JESUS EVEN FROM THE CROSS,


daata tere karam kaa, koee nahee.n kinaaraa
O BENEFACTOR, THERE’S NO LIMIT TO YOUR FAVOURS!


parwar digaar-e-aalam,
O CHERISHER OF THE WORLD!


teraa hee hai sahaaraa,
HELP IS FROM YOU ALONE,


tere siwaa jahaa.n me.n,
BUT FOR YOU IN THE WORLD,


koee nahee.n hamaaraa
NO ONE IS OURS!


parwar digaar-e-aalam…
O CHERISHER OF THE WORLD!


parwar digaar-e-aalam~~,
O CHERISHER OF THE WORLD!


teraa hee hai sahaaraa~~~~
HELP IS FROM YOU ALONE,


teraa hee hai sahaaraa~~~~
HELP IS FROM YOU ALONE,


teraa hee hai sahaaraa~~~~
HELP IS FROM YOU ALONE,


teraa hee hai sahaaraa~~~~~
HELP IS FROM YOU ALONE!


NASIR.
