Ishq Da Saagar Lyrics English Translation – Bulleh Shah

Raat Dhale Toh Tera Zikr Aaye
When the night falls, thoughts of you arise.

Dil Ke Andar Roshni Jagaye
They light a glow inside my heart.

Saans Lete Hi Mehka Tera Naam
With every breath, your name spreads its fragrance.

Tu Hi Sukoon, Tu Hi Salaam
You are my peace, you are my salvation.

Rumi Kehta Hai Ishq Hi Raah Hai
Rumi says love itself is the only path.

Jo Kho Gaya Wohi Paaya Tujhe Yaha
What was lost is found again in you here.

Ishq Da Saagar Main Dooba Jaaun
May I drown in the ocean of love.

Naam Tera Rabba Main Soch Na Paaun
O Lord, I cannot think beyond your name.

Dil Yeh Fakeer Tere Dar Pe Gira
This beggar-heart has fallen at your doorstep.

Tu Hi Haqeeqat Main Khwaab Tera
You are the reality; I am but your dream.

Bulle Ki Jaan Na Main Kaun
As Bulleh Shah says, I do not know who I am.

Na Main Momin Vich Masee
I am neither a believer nor a saint.

Na Main Vich Kuf Di Yaari
Nor am I a companion of disbelief.

Ishq Da Saagar Agar Main Dooba Jaaun
If I drown in the ocean of love,

Naam Tera Rabba Main Soch Na Paaun
O Lord, I can think of nothing but your name.

Raqs Mero Fana Mehsoo
In the dance of annihilation, I feel dissolved.

Tu Hi Maqsood Tu Hi Tu Junoon
You are the destination; you alone are my passion.

Jahaal-E-Miskin Makon Tak Phul Duraye
The helpless soul spreads flowers even to distant realms.

Naina Banaye Battiyan
My eyes turn into lamps of light.

Khush Raho Bole Chaand
“Stay happy,” says the moon,

Nigah Mein Roye
While tears remain in the gaze.

Prem Di Raah Mein Sab Kuch Kho Gaye
On the path of love, everything is lost.

Dil Se Dil Tak Ek Noor Chala
From heart to heart, a divine light traveled.

Maqsad Bas Ek Tu Ya Khuda
The only purpose is you, O God.

Ishq Garaf Hame Raf Zindagi Raf
Love lifts us and carries life beyond itself.

Main Ishq Da Banda Tu Ishq Ishq Da Malik
I am a servant of love; you are the master of love itself.

Mitti Da Jism Rooh Teri Taalikh
This body is made of dust; my soul is shaped by you.

Jal Jaaun Main Tere Zikr Dilon
May I burn in the remembrance of you within my heart.

Fanaa Ho Jaaun Bas Tu Hi Tu
May I be annihilated, leaving only you.

Bas Tu Hi Tu
Only you, only you.

Ishq Na Saagar Main Dooba Jaaun
May I drown in the ocean of love.

Naam Tera Rabba Main Soch Na Paaun
O Lord, I cannot think beyond your name.

Dil Yeh Fakeer Tere Dar Pe Gira
This humble heart has fallen at your doorstep.

Tu Hi Haqeeqat Main Khwaab Tera
You are the reality; I am merely your dream.
