Chaahne Se Tujhko O Khwaja Jee
Mustafa Ko Paaya
(By wishing/worshipping you Khwaja,
I have found Mohammed [the chosen one])
Chaahne – loving
Not worshipping. In sufism they only worship one god, god of all. Here in this song the singer is PRAISING Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti.
thanks.. Handy..
Thanks for taking the pain and translating it for our comprehension.
its a heart touching essence of music seriously
Thanx a lot. I love listenin to dis song and nw after knwing its meaning its fantastic. Great lyrics ever heard
Lifetime Song. Accidently I became a serious devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba. I listen to this song imagining as this song is composed for Sai. And I get a great spiritual feel. Jai ho ARR!!
Masha Allah
Wat a song
Very peacefull
Very touching
Heart Melting
this song is a kind of shirk. becacuse we only worship ALLAH , One and only Allah, not a creation of Allah.ALLAH forgives all kind of sins in a condition but not the shirk .
Marvellous,
very good song ,which gives peace to heart
i love this song but i am not muslim this song is very emotinal hr=eart touching song i love khwaja mere khwaja
gud song
GOOD TRY!! great song
This song is simply a shirk.. excrutiatingly painful to see muslims have degraded so much.
I hope AR Rahman is an expert for sufi songs. This one and the song ‘Arziyaan’ of delhi 6 are my best sufi songs ever.
really good work……………thnx a lot!
Great translation, I am a Hindu (on paper) but I like to read Quran. I also believe in PEER BABA. Could anybaody tell me more about PEER BABA? Om Namah Shivay
I love this song. What a good idea to listen to it every morning like Mahiar does.
thanks to a r rahman to give this much fantastic song
thanx
I just wanted to share that the sufi interpretation of the word Kwaja means “a master” meaning a teacher. Hence, a master and his disciples. A master is also teacher, hence, he is also known as Mwalim.
Beautiful song. Touches the heart. I listen to it everyday. Thank you.
Hi what does this actual song mean?
Wonderful! Thanks for taking time to translate!
I liked dis song very much and it has gr8 meaning .
Whenevr I am sad n upset with my life I hear ths song after which trust me I feel relaxed and overwhelmed, it makes me feel that there is almighty who hav his hands on me to protect me from all the uncertainities and difficulties of life, hats off to u Mr Rahman, ur an outstanding Artist, my heart goes out for u.
My eyes are wet, heart is heavy, full of emotions.. Just enables us to understand how Islam is filled with love, brotherhood & goodwill. AR Rahman resides just couple of streets across from the place i live, wish to thank him everyday of my life.
Excellent song , Javed Ali done a wonderful performance at the ICC in Durban for this song, absolutely loved it
superb song……
masha allah
whenever i am sad i’ll listen to this sng..
composition,singing,movie every thing is awesome
God is Great….He’s the one who gives all the relishes, joys and luxuries and in returns asks for only one favour, “REMEMBER AND WORSHIP ME!”
