Noor - Light

Another of my Master's Guru's poems written in a mixture of North Indian languages (primarily Punjabi and Urdu):

Duniya da vali purakh Akal hein
Roz roz kare sab ki sambhal hein
Ajab banaya sara dastoor hein
Duniya de which sarey tera noor hein

The Lord of this world is You (O God!) Yourself
You take care of everybody every day
Astonishing are Your rules (customs)
You are the light of the whole world

Dhono hath joor ke namaskar hein
Kartar tera na koi shumaar hein
Ang-ang which sarey bharpur hein
Duniya de which sarey tera noor hein

I fold both my hands and salute (Namaskar / Namaste) You
O Master! You don't have any equal
(You are not accountable to anyone)
All the organs of the body are full of You
You are the light of the whole world

Rachna racha-ae kisey noo na dasada
Ang-ang sarey which aap vasada
Koi aakh sakada na neray door hein
Duniya de which sarey tera noor hein

How You created this Creation
You tell nobody
You exist in all parts of the body Yourself
Nobody can say that You are near or far
You are the light of the whole world

Aap hi Rahim keetay aap Ram hein
Aapey Hindu aapey deen Aslam hein
Desh tey bidesh sarey mashoor hein
Duniya de which sarey tera noor hein

You Yourself are Rahim and
You Yourself are Ram
You Yourself are Hindu and
You Yourself are Muslim
You are famous in this and all
Other countries
You are the light of the whole world

Kisey noo maloom tera na asool hein
Aapey avtar aapey hi rasool hein
Terey bina khali koi na zaroor hein
Duniya de which sarey tera noor hein

Nobody knows what is Your principle
You Yourself are an avatar
You Yourself are an Apostle (Prophet)
Nobody is empty without You
You are the light of the whole world
