Kun faya kun (Credit to: AR Rahman, Javed Ali)

Oh Ruler of the Saints,

Oh Ruler of the crestfallen

Take a step forward, destroy these distances

Come into this void, the home of your beloved

Without you there is emptiness, come into this void

He who fills me with color

[He said] Be, & it is!

When, there was nothing,

He was the one,

the only one.

He is the one who is in my soul,

He is the one in your soul,

O dear Lord, He is the one that is mystery

[He said] Be, & it is! Be, & it is!

The truth is Allah, the sublime, the magnificent

My painter, color my body my soul

Take away the colors, from the body, from the soul

The Morning showers(blessings) rain on me

And it cleans up the dark soul of mine which is like darkness of night.

Its only for the drop of nourishment that flows from yours,

Oh Lord…

[He said] Be, & it is! Be, & it is!

The truth is Allah, the sublime, the magnificent

The truth is his Apostle

May the blessing and peace be upon him

It would be your generosity upon me, Oh master

My request, Free me from myself

Even I should see myself

Make me free from myself

From myself…

There is a mirage in my mind

For the weakness of my actions

Have got me where…

I am lost…

You are in me,

Where have you brought me

I have given myself to you,

In your footsteps I follow

I am your shadow

You have created me

I didn’t fit in the world

Yet you embraced me

Only you are the Just,

Only you are the Truth…

[He said] Be, & it is!

Be, & it is!
