Uttha Do Pardah Dikha Do Chehra + English Translation

Utha do pardah dikha do chehra, ke Noor e baari hijab mein hai
Zamaana taareek ho raha hai, ke mehr kab se niqaab mein hai

Lift up thy veil and reveal your Blessed face, for the Divine Light is
covered
The world is darkening, for the Sun has been veiled for so long.

May Allah save us from his anger, the Manifestation of Allah's majesty.

Not even venison gives as much pleasure, as a heart scorched by his
love.

Unhein ki boo maaya e saman hay, unhein ka jalwah chaman chaman he
Unhein se gulshan mehak rahain hain, unhein ki rangat gulab main he.

It is due to him the gardens and flowers smell, Roses blessed with
colour.

death!
The Soul in the stirrup, the death of the enemy in your reins

Siyaah libasan e dar dunya o sabz poshaan e arsh e aala
Har ik hai unkay karam ka pyaasa, yeh faiz un ki janaab mein hai

the heavens,
Every one thirsty for his grace, this blessing is for him alone

Woh Gul hain labhaaye naazuk in kay, hazaaron jhartey hain phool jin
say
Gulaab gulshan mein dekhay bulbul, yeh dekh gulshun gulaab mein hai

Look here, thousands of rose gardens in a rose.

vision
Show me those lips, in whose speech, lies the Water of Life.

Kharray hain Munkar-Nakeer sar par, na koi haami na koi yaawar

Come and tell , O. my Prophet, for there is great difficulty in the answers

giving, chests full with treasure to give.
Tell me, O needy ones! Why are your hearts so troubled?

Gunaah ki taariikiyaan yeh chaeen, umand kay kaalii ghataain aayein

difficulty.

Kareem apnay Karam ka sadqa e Layyim bay qadr ko na sharmaa

worthless slave ashamed
You and take the account of Raza?, Is Raza worthy of any account?
