Ya Khwaja Jee…Ya Khwaja Jee..
Ya Khwaja Jee….

Khwaja Mere Khwaja
(O saint khwaja)
Dil Mein Samaa Ja
(Please take shelter in my heart)
Shaahon Ka Shah Tu
(You are emperor of emperors)
Ali Ka Dulaara
(And you are the beloved of Ali)

Khwaja Mere Khwaja, (ni ga ga ga)X4
Dil Mein Samaa Ja, (sa ri ri ri)x4
Shahon Ka Shah Tu
Ali Ka Dulaara (ni sa ga sa)x4

Khwaja Mere Khwaja
Dil Mein Samaa Ja

Beqasson Ki Taqdeer
Tune Hai Sawaari, Tune Hai Sawaari
(The destiny of the ones in despair,
you have changed for the better)

Beqasson Ki Taqdeer
Tune Hai Sawaari, (Hai Sawaari)
Tune Hai Sawaari, (Hai Sawaari)

Khwaja Mere Khwaja…

Tere Durbaar Mein Eh Khwaja
(In your presence, O Saint Khwaja)
Noor To Hai Dekha
(We have been blessed with the divine light)
aa…
Tere Durbaar Mein Eh Khwaja
(And in your presencse, O great Saint)
Sar Jhukaate Hain Auliyaa
(Your confidantes/protectors/confessors bow down to you)
Tu Hai Hindal-wali Khwaja
(You are the Hindal-Wali Khwaja)
Rutba Hai, Pyaara
(Your status is glorious/great)

Chaahne Se Tujhko O Khwaja Jee
Mustafa Ko Paaya
(By wishing/worshipping you Khwaja,
I have found Mohammed [the chosen one])

Khwaja Mere Khwaja, Khwaja Mere Khwaja
Dil ein Samaa Ja, Khwaja, Samaa Ja
Shaahon Ka Shah Tu, Shah Tu
Ali Ka Dulaara

hmm…
Mere Peer Ka Sadka…
(In the alms of my old age)
Mere Peer Ka Sadka….
Hai Mere Peer Ka Sadka
Tera Daaman Hai Thaama
( I have come in your refuge)
Khwaja Jee…
Talee Har Balaa, Hamari
(All my problems/crisis have been averted)
Chhaaya Hai Khumaar, Tera
(Your trance is all over me)
Jitna Bhi Rashq Karein Beshaque
(No matter how much one may envy (rashk) be jealous)
To Kum Hai, Eh Mere Khwaja
(Its just too less, o khwaja)
Tere Kadmon Ko Mere Rehnumaa Nahi Chhoddna Gawaara
(Its not acceptable(gawara), o my guide(rehnuma),
to leave your feet(kadmon) now)

Khwaja Mere Khwaja, Khwaja Khwaja
Dil Mein Samaa Ja, Samaa Ja, Samaa Ja
Shaahon Ka Shah Tu,
Ali Ka Dulaara

Khwaja Mere Khwaja, Khwaja Mere Khwaja
Dil Mein Samaa Ja
Khwaja Mere Khwaja, Khwaja Mere Khwaja
Dil Mein Samaa Ja, Dil Mein Samaa Ja

Beqasson Ki Taqdeer
Tune Hai Sawaari, (Tune Hai Sawaari)
Beqasson Ki Taqdeer
Tune Hai Sawaari, (Tune Hai Sawaari)
Sawaari, Sawaari

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.
