Tere Kareeb

Tere kareeb, rehne ko dil, mera kare, mera kare
(My heart desires to be close to you)
Teri mohabbat mein dooba rahoon, mujhse kahe, mujhse kahe
(It bids me to be lost in your love)
Yeshu tere jaisa pyaar
(Jesus, the way you love…)
Na kisi ne kiya, na koi kar bhi sake
(…no one has ever loved, nor can anyone ever do)

Gustaakhiyaan meri karta kshama
(You forgive my trespasses)
Apni muaafi se bharta sada
(You fill me with your forgiveness)
Tanhaaiyon mein tu saath rahe
(In my loneliness you are with me)
Khaamoshiyon mein tu baat kare
(In quietness, you speak to me)
Teri awaaz, sunne ko dil, mera kare, mera kare
(My heart desires to hear your voice)
Shaagirdon se tu karta hai baat, kalaam kahe, kalaam kahe
(Your word testifies that you do speak to your followers)
Yeshu tere jaisa pyaar
(Jesus, the way you love…)
Na kisi ne kiya, na koi kar bhi sake
(…no one has ever loved, nor can anyone ever do)

Tujhko talaashe meri aatma,
(My souls longs and searches for you)
Din raat tadpe Prabhu tu kahan
(Day and night, I long for you, where are you, Lord)
Pyaasa hiran jaise paani ko tarse
(As the deer pants for water)
Meri bhi rooh tere liye
(So my soul longs for you)
Bechain din raat rehti Prabhu, tere bina, tere bina
(Day and night I am restless without you, O Lord)
Ik hi tamanna Prabhu tu mile, chaahe aur kuch bhi na, aur kuch bhi na
(I have one desire – to have you – even if I don’t get anything else, but I just need you)
Yeshu tere jaisa pyaar
(Jesus, the way you love…)
Na kisi ne kiya, na koi kar bhi sake
(…no one has ever loved, nor can anyone ever do)
