ज़िन्दगी ने की हैं कैसी साजिशें- पूरी हुई दिल की वो फरमाईशें
What strange schemes life has woven. Yet the heart's deepest wishes have been fulfilled.
My life hasn't always agreed with what I want from it. It's stubborn in that sense. Yet, it has fulfilled the demands of my heart. I wonder if those wishes were what my life wanted me to ask for. I wonder if it was truly my choice or an illusion of it because:
what are wishes that life easily grants?
what are wishes that life easily gives?
what are wishes that life readily accepts?
True wishes are those that even life longs to shatter.
माँगी दुआ एक तुझ तक जा पहुँची - परवर दिगारा परवर दिगारा कैसी सुनी तूने मेरी ख़ामोशी- ओ परवर दिगारा
A prayer I whispered has reached all the way to You— Oh, Lord Divine, Lord Divine. How You heard the silence of my soul, Oh, Lord Divine.
When I finally found the strength to ask for a wish I knew could never be, I sent this prayer to you, my lord, (my parvardigara), with painful awareness that what I seek is out of reach, that my obsession is unjustified, that my desire is illicit.
How did you hear the words I refused to speak? How did you understand the meaning behind my silence, the reasonings held in my breath? Even when I asked for what's forbidden, you found a way to hear my heart. You granted me the boon I was too afraid to ask for.
ये फ़ितूर मेरा लाया मुझको है तेरे करीब- ये फ़ितूर मेरा रहमत तेरी, ये फ़ितूर मेरा मैंने बदला रे मेरा नसीब- ये फ़ितूर मेरा चाहत तेरी, ओ परवर दिगारा परवर दिगारा
This obsession of mine has drawn me close to You ; This obsession of mine—it is Your grace. This obsession of mine has changed my destiny; this obsession of mine—it is my longing for You. Oh, Lord Divine, Lord Divine.
This obsession of mine, this longing, has brought me closer to you, even when I know it's wrong to be granted, even when I know it's not what my life wanted. This obsession of mine is my lord's way of showing mercy. This obsession of mine is my lord's way of forgiveness. He's given me grace to still long for what my life refuses to give into, to have yearnings greater than what my destiny provides for.
This obsession of mine, this longing, has changed my fate in the universe. He has shown me mercy by allowing me to hope. I've changed what my life wanted me to settle for, I've rebelled against everything my fate wanted me to believe in, only for you. My lord has allowed me to yearn for you. This fire that is keeping me alive is the claim on you. To be devoted to you, my devine.
धीमे धीमे जल रही थी ख्वाहिशें- दिल में दबी घुट रही फरमाईशें बन के धुआँ वो तुझ तक जा पहुँची- परवर दिगारा परवर दिगारा दीवानगी की हद मैंने नोची- ओ परवर दिगारा
Desires were smoldering slowly, Wishes lay stifled and suppressed within my heart; Yet, turning into a prayer, they reached all the way to You— Oh, Lord Divine, Lord Divine. I have pushed the limits of this madness, Oh, Lord Divine.
My desires were burning down, and without this hope from god, I probably would have given you up way sooner. I never asked for my desires. He heard them himself. They were safe inside of me. They died on my heart, and I was going to burn them in there, but he heard me. He understood the smoke that was going to kill me from the inside, I wouhave been nothing but a walking corpse without you waiting to rot. What have I done, making my almighty go against everything? What was I thinking. I have crossed the sane ground long ago, and on the insane side of things, i believe in nothing but my desire to be devoted to you. That is how much I love you. My lord understood that, and he went against everything for you because my obsession is my yearning for you.
ये फ़ितूर मेरा लाया मुझको है तेरे करीब- ये फ़ितूर मेरा रहमत तेरी
ये फ़ितूर मेरा मैंने बदला रे मेरा नसीब- ये फ़ितूर मेरा चाहत तेरी
परवर दिगारा परवर दिगारा परवर दिगारा परवर दिगारा
This obsession of mine has brought me close to You This obsession of mine—Your grace
This obsession of mine—I have changed my destiny This obsession of mine—my longing for You
