Meri Soch vi sochan vich pai gayi
Main Soch Soch ke haar gaya
Kede passe javan hun main
Dil nu ehyo rog maar gaya
Ik passe mera rabb aabid
Doojhe passe yaar e
Samajh ni aundi kider jaavan
Phas adh vich kar gaya
Kithe karan sajda mera dil pareshan e
Kaabe wali gali vich yaar da makaan e
Ik sajda te do markaz ne kis dar te sis nivavan mein
Daso yaar de passe Javan ya rabb de passe Javan main
Dovein passe aana jaana meri majboori e
Yaar vi zaroori e te rabb vi zaroori e
Pehle kithe jaavan meri akal hairan e
Kaabe wali gali vich yaar da makaan e
Kadde dil karda e yaar wal jaavan main
Kaddi dil karda e rabb nu manavan main
Dovein passe laga hoya dil da dhyan e
Kaabe wali gali vich yaar makaan e
Rehnda wa rabb di nazran vich rabb nazar mere te rakhda e
Jadon os gali vich jandan wa mera yaar meri rah takda e
Je yaar de walle javan main naaraz khuda ho janda e
Je rabb wal pehle javan main mera yaar khafa ho janda e
Rabb bajon mera koi jagg te sahara ni
Yaar bajon hunda ik pal vi guzara ni
Ik meri zindgi te dooja meri jaan e
Kaabe wali gali vich yaar da makaan e
Meri akal nu gunjalan pai gayiyan
Mainu Samajh ja koi aundi e
Kaddi yaar da buha takda haan
Kadde nazar khuda wal jaandi e
Aabd main javanga te dovein ghar javanga
Rabb nu karanga raazi yaar nu manavanga
Samajh ni aundi Bada aukha imtihan e
Kaabe wali gali vich yaar da makaan e
