Song analysis - The song ‘Khwaja Mere Khwaja‘ from the movie Jodhaa-Akbar is definitely going to be loved by one and all. That A.R. Rahman is a music maestro is a known fact, but his best comes out in such songs which deal with the Almighty. Case in point: be it ‘O Paalanhare‘ from the movie Lagaan, or ‘Ik Tu hi bharosa‘ from the movie Pukar, he truly creates magic with these songs. The lyrics of ‘Khwaja Mere Khwaja‘ have been penned by Kashif and have a Sufi touch to them. The feelings of being one with God are expressed beautifully in the song, and music is, well, typical Rahman wonder. What A.R. Rahman does, is remind you of the days when songs were far more crucial, for pulling the audience to the screens, than they are these days. And if nothing else, it is songs like ‘Khwaja Mere Khwaja‘, which will definitely ask of you to watch the spectacle, only at a big screen. Meanwhile, play the song to be one with The One!

A very beautiful song, and the highpoint of *Jodhaa Akbar*; but I have no Hindi. Is there an English translation of the lyric *Khwaja Mere Kwaja* somewhere in cyberpsace?

Thank you!

It is offcourse an amazing song……just wanted to correct few things when u have translated in english this line…= Door toh hai dekha
(I’ve seen it from afar) which actually is Noor To Hai Dekha
aa… Noor is light so it means we have seen light and the next thing is in this line…..= Mere peer ka sadka
(The alms of my old age)
Hai mere peer ka sadka
(It is the charity of my old age)….what this means is when they refer to peer which is peer-o-murshid a spiritual guru who shows the right path so his sadka which means thru him i am blessed for his renunciation
