Allah tero naam

Allah tero naam, Ishwar tero naam
Sab ko sanmati de, Bhagwan

Is dhartee kaa roop naa ujaṛe
pyaar kee ṭhanḍee dhoop naa ujaṛe
Sabko mile sukh kaa vardaan

Maangon kaa sindoor na chhoote
Maa bahano ki aas na toote
Deha binaa, dataa, Deha binaa bhatake na praan

O saare jag ke rakhwaale
Nirbal ko bal denewaale
Balwaano ko de de gyaan

Your name is Allah, your name is Eeshwar. All names refer to the one God. (Bless everyone with equanimity).

May the form of the earth be not disturbed. May the seasons not disappear. May all enjoy the gift of happiness.

May the sindoor never separate from the forehead (let us not be widows). May the hopes of our mothers and sisters be not shattered. May souls not suffer without a (well-deserved) body.

O Great One who looks after the whole world; You give strength to the weak and downtrodden; May the weak be strong and may the strong ones (who can help the weak) be blessed with wisdom.

Lata Mangeshkar; Movie: Hum Dono, 1961
