रब हो न ख़फ़ा
हो न ख़फ़ा
जाने जहां से बेगाने जहां से
अब मैं हूँ जुदा मैं हूँ जुदा
जान लिया है
मैंने मान लिया है
मैंने प्यार को अपना खुदा
सजदा मैं करूँ यार का सजदा
सजदा करूँ दीदार का सजदा
सजदा मैं करूँ प्यार का सजदा
माफ़ करें इन्साफ करें
रब हो न ख़फ़ा
हो न ख़फ़ा
जाने जहां से बेगाने जहां से
अब मैं हूँ जुदा मैं हूँ जुदा
जान लिया है
मैंने मान लिया है
मैंने प्यार को अपना खुदा
सजदा मैं करूँ प्यार का सजदा
सजदा मैं करूँ यार का सजदा
सजदा करूँ दीदार का सजदा
सजदा मैं करूँ प्यार का सजदा
हर चाहत मन्नत सी लगे
मुझे दुनिया भी
जन्नत सी लगे
ख़्वाबों में बिखरी
झलक से मिला
मैं तो जमीं पे
फलक से मिला
होश नहीं है अब होश नहीं
छाया है मुझपे नशा
सजदा मैं करूँ प्यार का सजदा
सजदा मैं करूँ यार का सजदा
सजदा करूँ दीदार का सजदा
सजदा मैं करूँ प्यार का सजदा
हर अफसाना नज़र से बयान
मेरे एहसास तरंग जवान
ऐसे जस्बातों से दिल यह मिला
जैसे विरानो में फूल खिला
सारी फ़िज़ा में रवा है रवा
मेरी धड़कनों की सदा
सजदा मैं करूँ प्यार का सजदा
सजदा मैं करूँ यार का सजदा
सजदा करूँ दीदार का सजदा

The lyrics of the song Sajda by Pritam are a beautiful expression of love and devotion. The singer begs for forgiveness and justice from God, seeking to be reconciled with the object of his love. He accepts that he is now separated from his beloved and has come to terms with it. He has made love his god and is willing to worship at its altar. The repeating refrain of "Sajda main karun pyar ka sajda" emphasizes his devotion and commitment, as he is willing to do anything to be reunited with his love.
The second verse reflects on the power of dreams and the intensity of his emotions. He has found solace in his feelings, even though he is lost in them. His euphoria is palpable as he declares that his heartbeat reverberates throughout the air, proclaiming his love. The reference to flowers blooming in the desert emphasizes how unexpected and miraculous this relationship is - as out of place as a bloom in the midst of drought.
Overall, the song is a beautiful expression of the transformative power of love and the depths to which it can take us.
