Noor E Haq Jalwa Numa Tha Mujhe Maloom Na Tha Lyrics
Noor e Haqq jalwahnuma tha, mujhe maaloom na tha
Shakal e insaan mein chhupaa thaa, , mujhe maaloom na tha
The Divine Light was manifest, but I wasn’t aware
He was hidden in human form, but I wasn’t aware
Baarhaa, jis ne kaha tha “Ana basharun” us ne [1]
“Man ra’anii” bhii kaha tha, mujhe maaloom na tha [2]
Frequently, he who said, “I am a man”, said too: [1]
“He who has seen me has seen God!” but I wasn’t aware [2]
BakriyaaN jis ne charaa’ii theeN Halima terii
‘Arsh par vohii gyaa, , mujhe maaloom na tha
He who tended your goats O’ Halima,
Also ascended to the Divine Throne, but I wasn’t aware
Jis ne ummat keliye ro kay guzaareeN raateiN
Voh hii Mahboob e Khuda tha, , mujhe maaloom na tha
He who spent his nights weeping for his followers
He alone was the Beloved of God, but I wasn’t aware
Chaand ashaaray se phaTTa, hukm say sooraj loTaa
Mazhar e zaat e Khuda tha, , mujhe maaloom na tha
The Moon split at his signal; at his command, the Sun returned
He was the manifestation of the Divine Essence, but I wasn’t aware
Dekha jab qabr mein uss pardah-nasheeN ko tau khulaa
Dil-e-Salik mein rahaa tha, mujhe maaloom na tha
When I saw that Veiled One in my grave, I understood
He had lived in Salik’s heart, but I wasn’t aware!
