Banda Parwar … ho – ho – ho – ho / /

Banda Parwar … mere harr … gham ka madawa thum ho

Banda Parwar mere … harr gham ka madawa thum ho

Mujhko duniya … se garaj

Kya meri duniya … thum ho

Sheikh sahab ko mubarak ho firdaus pari / /

Mera mazhab … mera iman … mera ‘qaaba thum ho

A translation

Banda parwar

O person who satisfies all my needs, gives me all I need

mere harr gham ka madawa thum ho

you are the cure, the medicine, for all my sorrows and ills

mujhko duniya se garaj

I turn away from the world (it turns away from me)

kya meri duniya thum ho

but you are the world for me

Sheikh sahib ko mubarak ho firdaus pari

my congratulations to the grand sheikh on his paradise and its angels

Mera mazhab – mera iman – mera ‘qaaba thum ho

you are my community, my faith, my ‘Qaaba
