Mera Dil Badal De Naat Lyrics in Urdu
میرا دل بدل دے مرا دل بدل دے
یہ دل جو ہے تیرا سنبھال اس کو
دل بدل دے مرا دل بدل دے
تیری چوکھٹ پہ آیا ہوں میں پشت پہ سر رکھے
تیرے در سے نہ جاؤں میں یہ کرم مجھ پہ کر رکھے
میرے گناہوں کی بخشش فرما
میرا دل بدل دے مرا دل بدل دے
تیری رحمت سے کوئی محروم نہیں ہوتا
تیرے در سے کوئی خالی نہیں جاتا
میرے آقا میں بھی آ گیا ہوں
میرا دل بدل دے مرا دل بدل دے
یہ دل ہے بہت برباد مرا
تو ہی سنبھال سکتا ہے اس کو
تیرے در پر آیا ہوں میں
میرا دل بدل دے مرا دل بدل دے
میرے نبی نے بخشش کا وعدہ کیا ہے
تیری رحمت کا دروازہ کھلا ہے
میں نے آ کر تیرا در تھپتھپایا
میرا دل بدل دے مرا دل بدل دے
Roman Transliteration
Mera dil badal de, mira dil badal de
Yeh dil jo hai tera sambhaal is ko
Dil badal de, mira dil badal de
Teri chokhat pe aaya hun main pusht pe sar rakhe
Tere dar se na jaun main ye karam mujh par kar rakhe
Mere gunaahon ki bakhshish farma
Mera dil badal de, mira dil badal de
Teri rehmat se koi mehroom nahi hota
Tere dar se koi khaali nahi jaata
Mere aaqa main bhi aa gaya hun
Mera dil badal de, mira dil badal de
Yeh dil hai bahut barbaad mera
Tu hi sambhaal sakta hai is ko
Tere dar par aaya hun main
Mera dil badal de, mira dil badal de
Mere Nabi ne bakhshish ka wada kiya hai
Teri rehmat ka darwaza khula hai
Main ne aa kar tera dar thapthapaya
Mera dil badal de, mira dil badal de
English Translation
Change my heart, O Lord, change my heart
This heart belongs to You, take care of it
Change my heart, O Lord, change my heart
I have come to Your doorstep, placing my head at Your feet
Do not let me leave Your door empty-handed, grant me this kindness
Forgive my sins
Change my heart, O Lord, change my heart
No one is ever deprived of Your mercy
No one ever leaves Your door empty
My Master, I have come to You
Change my heart, O Lord, change my heart
This heart of mine is in ruins
Only You can mend it
I have come to Your doorstep
Change my heart, O Lord, change my heart
My Prophet has promised forgiveness
Your door of mercy is open
I have knocked at Your door
Change my heart, O Lord, change my heart
Meaning and Background
