Secrets of Existence

Original Urdu

وجود کے راز بہت ہیں، جنہیں ہم نے ابھی تک نہیں جانا

وہ بیرونی دنیا میں نہیں، بلکہ ہماری اپنی روح میں چھپے ہیں

ہمیں اپنے اندر کی تلاش کرنی ہے، وہاں ہی سچائی ہے

ہمیں اپنے دل کو خالص کرنا ہے، وہاں ہی راز ہے

وجود کا سچ، یہ ہے کہ ہم سب ایک ہیں

ہم سب ایک ہی روح کے مختلف پھولوں ہیں

Romanized

Wujood ke raaz bohat hain, jinhein hum ne abhi tak nahi jana

Woh baironi duniya mein nahi, balki hamari apni rooh mein chhupay hain

Humein apne andar ki talash karni hai, wahan hi sachai hai

Humein apne dil ko khalis karna hai, wahan hi raaz hai

Wujood ka sach, yeh hai ke hum sab ek hain

Hum sab ek hi rooh ke mukhtalif phoolon hain

English Translation

There are many secrets of existence that we have not yet known

They are not in the external world, but hidden within our own soul

We must search within ourselves, there is the truth

We must purify our hearts, there is the secret

The truth of existence is that we are all one

We are all different flowers of the same soul
