Lyrics Man Kunth Maula - Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

Man Kunto Maula
Shaah-e-mardaaN
Sher-e-yazdaaN
Quvvat-e-parvardigaar
Laa fatah illaa Ali
Laa saif illaa zulfiqaar
King of the brave,
Lion of God,
Strength of God.
There is no one like Ali
There is no sword like Zulfiqaar.
Zulfiqaar was the sword of Ali presented to him by Muhammad."
Ali imaam-e-manasto manam Ghulaam-e-Ali
Hazaar jaan-e-giraamii fidaa-e-naam-e-Ali
Ali is my master, I am the slave of Ali
Thousands of lives can be sacrificed for the sacredness of name of Ali.
Man kunto maulaa
Fa haaza Aliun maulaa
To whom I am the master
Ali is the master.
Note: A famous tradition (hadith) of Prophet Muhammad. Ali was his cousin and son-in-law.
Daaraa dil daaraa dil daar-e-daanii
Tum tum taa naa naa naanaa, naanaa naanaa re
Yaalaalii yaalaalii yaalaa, yaalaa yaalaa
Dar – Bheetar, Aandar (inside) Dara – Andar Aa (get in or come inside) Dartan – Tanke Aandar (inside the body) Tanandara – Tanke Aandar Aa (Come inside the body) Tom – Main Tum Hun (I am you) Nadirdani – Tu Sabse Adhik Janata Hai (You know more than anyone else) Tandardani – Tanke Aandarka Jannewala (One who knows what is inside the body)
Tanan Dar Aa - Enter my body. O Dani - He knows Tu Dani - You know. Na Dir Dani - You are the Complete Wisdom. Tom - I am yours, I belong to you. Yala - Ya Allah Yali - Ya Ali.
Ali shaah-e-mardaaN imaamun kabiiraa
Ke baad az nabii shud bashirun naziiraa
Ali is the king of the brave and the great leader
Because after the Prophet, there is Ali.
