lyrics
Ali nu Maula manle, kul imaan ay
Aayho ai sache sahib da farmaan ay
(Embrace Ali as your Master, your faith commands it
That is the command from our true Lord)
Man kunto maula fahaza Ali maula
Parhle te muk jawey shirk da rola
(I am Master of those whose Master is Ali
Repeating this will eliminate the issue of Disbelief)
Ali nu Maula manle, kul imaan ay
(Embrace Ali as your Master, your faith commands it)
Jinhe do kahiya anhon janda jahan ay
Roley nu wadhan wala banya shaitan ay
(Everyone knows who deviated from Oneness
It was Iblees (the devil), the one who ignites conflict)
Ali nu Maula manle, kul imaan ay
(Embrace Ali as your Master, your faith commands it)
Khaliq di qudrat da nah, Maula Ali ay
Isliye the wali Allah, Allah wali hai
(The manifestation of the Creator’s divinity is Master Ali
That is why he is a saint)
Ali nu Maula manle, kul imaan ay
(Embrace Ali as your Master, your faith commands it)
Hazir o nazar wi aayho mojood ay
Kitey lage shahid kitey mashood ay
(He is present, he is watching, he is always here
Sometimes He is an observer, at others, the observed)
Ali nu Maula manle, kul imaan ay
(Embrace Ali as your Master, your faith commands it)
Ayin naal Ali ayin haq di daleel ay
Aap hi haseeb aap apna wakeel ay
(Ali is proof of divine Truth
He himself is accountable, he is also the counsel)
Ali nu Maula manle, kul imaan ay
(Embrace Ali as your Master, your faith commands it)
Allah tuon Muhammad, Muhammad toun Ali ay
Aesey da Jamaal har dor wich wali ay
(Ali is from Muhammad and Muhammad is from God
In every era, saints are reflections of his beauty)
Ali nu Maula manle, kul imaan ay
(Embrace Ali as your Master, your faith commands it)
Kalma tabassum ne haq da sunaya ay
Lukey huye johar nu samne wekhaya ay
(Tabbasum (poet) recites the declaration of Truth
It reveals hidden gems, shows them to us)
Ali nu Maula manle, kul imaan ay
Aayho ay sache sahab da farmaan ay
(Embrace Ali as your Master, your faith commands it
That is the command from our true Lord)
