Allah Hoo!



The great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the voice of mystical Islam, Pakistan's precious gift to humanity, sings his favourite qawwali, "Allah Hoo!"

Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!

Malik-Ul-Mulk, Lashareeka Lahoo
Wahadahoo Laa Ilaahaa Illaahoo

Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!

Yeh Zameen Jab Na Thi Yeh Jahaan Jab Na Thaa
Chaand Suraj Na Thay Aasman Jab Na Tha
Raaz-E-Haq Bhi Kisi Per Ayaan Jab Na Tha
Tab Na Tha Kuch Yahaan, Tha Magar Tu Hee Tu

Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!

Sana Bashar Ke Liyeah Bashar Sana Ke Liyeah
Tamaam Hamd Sazawaar Hai Khuda Ke Liyeah
Ata Ke Samnay Ya Rab Khata Ka Zikar He Kya
Tu Ata Ke Liyeah Hai Bashar Khata K Liyeah

Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!

Kiyoon Piyaa Ibn-E-Haidar Nay Jaam-E-Fanaa
Khaal Khichwai Tabraiz Ne Kiyoon Bhala
Daar Per Charh Ke Mansoor Nay Kia Kaha
Sab Banatay Khilonay, Raha Tu He Tu

Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!

Laa Ilaahaa Teri Shaan Ya Wahdahoo
Tu Khayaal-O-Tajassus Tu He Aarzoo
Aankh Ki Roshni Dil Ki Awaaz Tu
Tha Bhi Tu! Hai Bhi Tu! Hoga Bhi Tu Hee Tu!

Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!
Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo! Allah Hoo!

In translation:

YOU are the shaper of the two worlds, and the Deity
Everything is witness to YOUR Manifestation

When this earth and the world did not exist
When there was no moon, the sun or sky
When the secret of the truth was yet unravelled
Nothing was here save YOU, none but YOU

God is there for His creation, His creation exists for God
All of creation sings His praise
In front of You what am I?
You are for me, I exist for You.

Why did Hussain, son of Haider, drink the nectar of mortality?
Why did Tabriz have himself flayed alive?
Why did Mansoor utter at the gibbet?
All make only toys, the only one left is You

There is no one like you and that is your grandeur, O! unique one
you are the imagination and inquisitiveness, you are the wish
you are the light [and] the voice of heart
you were there, you are there and you will be there.
