Light of God
ajnbii moR hai ,
xauf har or hai
har nazar pe dhuaaN chhaa gayaa
pal bhar meN jaane
kyaa kho gayaa
It is an unknown twist
there's terror in each corner
Smoke covered every gaze
(Who knows) what was lost
in the extent of a moment
[ Hmm … ]
aasmaan sard hai
aaheN bhii sard haiN
tan se saayaa
judaa ho gayaa
[ Hmm … ]
pal bhar meN jaane
kyaa kho gayaa
[Hmm …]
The sky is cold
Even sighs are cold
The shadow became separated
from the body
[Hmm …]
(Who knows) what was lost
in the extent of a moment
saaNs ruk sii gaii
jism chhil saa gayaa
TuuTe xaaboN ke manzar pe
teraa jahaan chal diyaa
The breath seems to have stopped,
the body seems to be wounded
Your world left
towards a landscape of broken dreams
nuur-e-xudaa , nuur-e-xudaa
tuu kahaaN chhupaa hai hameN ye bataa
nuur-e-xudaa , nuur-e-xudaa
yuuN na ham se nazreN phiraa
[ all stanza x 2 ]
nuur-e-xudaa …
Light of God, light of God,
tell me where you have hidden.
Light of God, light of God,
don't turn your eyes away from us
[all stanza x 2]
Light of God …

Oh! Just deign a look of mercy …
Ho! Do awaken din and dharma!
Ho! Burning solitudes!
Upset shadows!
How did this wind soar?
How did this atmosphere spread?

TuuTe xaaboN ke manzar pe

The soul became like frozen
Time became like stopped
Your world left
towards a landscape of broken dreams
nuur-e-xudaa , nuur-e-xudaa
tuu kahaaN chhupaa hai hameN ye bataa
nuur-e-xudaa , nuur-e-xudaa

ujRe se lamHoN ko
aas terii .
zaxmii diloN ko hai
pyaas terii ,
har dhaRkan ko talaash terii
teraa miltaa
nahiiN hai pataa
For ravaged-like moments,
there is the hope of You.
For wounded hearts.
there is the thirst of You.
To every heartbeat, the search of You,
(but) your whereabouts
have not been found
xaalii aaNkheN xud se savaal kare
amnoN kii chiikh beHaal kare
bɛhtaa lahuu fariyaad kare
teraa miTtaa chalaa hai nishaan
The empty eyes question themselves
The shout of peace makes (me) miserable
The flowing blood complains
The sign of You has gone, effaced
ruuH jam sii gaii
vaqt tham saa gayaa
TuuTe xaaboN ke manzar pe
teraa jahaan chal diyaa …
The soul became like frozen
Time became like stopped
Your world left
towards a landscape of broken dreams
nuur-e-xudaa , nuur-e-xudaa
tuu kahaaN chhupaa hai hameN ye bataa
nuur-e-xudaa , nuur-e-xudaa
yuuN na ham se nazreN phiraa
nuur-e-xudaa …
Light of God, light of God,
tell me where you have hidden.
Light of God, light of God,
don't turn your eyes away from us
Light of God …

nuur-e-xudaa (Urdu: نُورِ خُدا, Hindi: नूर-ए-ख़ुदा) "The Light of God" is a song belonging to the 2010 Indian movie drama "My Name is Khan".
In the movie, Rizvan Khan (interpreted by the Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan a.k.a "SRK") is an Indian man in the USA who suffers from the Asperger syndrome but has many technical talents.
He is married to a hair stylist, Mandira (interpreted by Indian actress Kajol).
Due to some tragical circumstances in the movie, Khan embarks on a road trip across the USA to meet the country's president.
The video clip shows how Khan earns his life during that trip, by doing odd jobs as a repairman.
In the meantime, Mandira is shown interacting with the police in a related criminal investigation.
At some point during the trip, Khan, who is a Muslim, insists on performing his prayer duty despite the inconveniences and general anti-Muslim atmosphere of those times in the USA.
The singers are Adnan Sami, Shankar Mahadevan, and Shreya Ghoshal.
The lyrics were written by Niranjan Iyengar, and the music composer was "SEL" an Indian band of composers whose name is an acronym of the first names of its members (Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani, and Loy Mendonsa).
