Dunya ki aye Musafir – Oh Travellers of this world
A beautiful Naat. Subhanallah. May Allah Ta’ala reward the composer much. Translation and transliteration is included.
Listen to it alone with an empty heart.
TRANSLATION IN ENGLISH
Oh travellers of this world
your destination is the grave
This journey for which you are preparing will last for only two days
Since the creation of this world thousands and millions have arrived
No one is left, They’ve been engulfed in soil
Do not forget this, this will be everyone’s final abode
Oh traveller of this world
Your destination is the grave
With your own eyes how many burials have you witnessed?
With your own hands how many of the dead have you buried?
Of your own consequences why are you so unaware?
Oh traveller of this world
Your destination is the grave
These great mansions you have they are of no use
These tall and lofty buildings that you have built they are of no use
Only two metres of this vast earth, will be your small home
Oh traveller of this world
Your destination is the grave
Here today, Gone tomorrow
You are not to stay in this world
Your destination is to leave
This journey for which you are preparing will be over in two days
Oh traveller of this world
TRANSLITERATION
Dunya ke ae musafir
Manzil teri qabar hai
Tay kar raha he jo tu
Do din ka ye safar he
dunya bani he jab se
laakhon karoro aaye
baaqi raha na koi
mitti mein sab samaaye
is baat ko na bhulo
sab ka yahi hashr he
Dunya ke ae musafir….
aankho se tu ne apni
kitne janaaze dekhe
haathow se tu ne apne
dafnaaye kitne murday
anjaam se tu apne
kyun itna bekhabar he
Dunya ke ae musafir….
makhmal pe sonay waale
mitti mein so rahe he
shaaho gada barabar
ek saath so rahe he
dono huwe baraaber
yahi maut ka asar he
Dunya ke ae musafir….
Ye aali- shaan bunglay
kuch kaam ke nahi he
ye oonchi oonchi imaarat
kuch kaam ki nahi he
do gaz zameen ka tukra
chota sa tera ghar he
Dunya ke ae musafir….
mitti ke putle tujh ko
mitti mein he sumaana
ek din he tu ke aaya
ek din he tujh ko jaana
rehna nahi he tujh ko
jaari tera safar he
Dunya ke ae musafir….
Very nice!
Although, a couple of times I’ve notice some interruption in sound. Did you see a better version of the same song, with no sound interruption? I’ve seen other versions, but this version has better sound quality and the singer is also good.
JazakAllah.
