Lyrics / गीत
मुझे छू ले, छू ले, छू ले तू
अपनी हुज़ूरी से मेरे खुदा
रूह की मामूरी से मेरे खुदा
मुझे छू ले…
१. छू ले मुझे मेरा जीवन बदल
सारे गुनाह जाएं दिल से निकल
मुझको पिला दे तू जीवन का जल
मुझे छू ले…
२. तेरा वचन हृदय में भरूं
जो तू ना चाहे वो मैं ना करूं
जब तक हैं सांसें मैं तुझसे डरूंगा
मुझे छू ले…
३. ढूँढें तुझे ये निगाहें मेरी
तरसें तुझे ये बाहें मेरी
करदे खत्म सारी आहें मेरी
मुझे छू ले…
English Translation
Touch me, touch me, You touch me,
With Your presence, O my God,
With the fullness of Your Spirit, O my God,
Touch me…
1. Touch me and transform my life,
May all sins depart from my heart.
Make me drink the Water of Life,
Touch me…
2. May I fill my heart with Your Word,
Whatever You do not desire, may I never do.
As long as I have breath, I will fear (revere) You,
Touch me…
3. These eyes of mine search for You,
These arms of mine long (thirst) for You.
Put an end to all my sighs (sorrows),
Touch me…
Spiritual Meaning & Theme
This beautifully intimate worship song is a heartfelt plea for the Holy Spirit’s touch, personal transformation, and a deeper relationship with God.
- The Fullness of the Spirit: The chorus asks God to touch the believer with His presence (Hazoori) and the fullness/abundance of the Holy Spirit (Rooh ki maamuri). It recognizes that true change only happens through a divine encounter.
- The Water of Life: The first stanza powerfully echoes Jesus’ words to the Samaritan woman in John 4:14. The worshiper asks to drink the “Jeevan ka jal” (Water of Life) so that their spiritual thirst may be quenched and their heart cleansed of all sin.
- Obedience and Reverence: The second stanza perfectly encapsulates Psalm 119:11 (“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you”). The believer vows to live a life of obedience, declaring that as long as they have breath, they will walk in the holy “fear of the Lord” (reverence and submission).
- A Desperate Longing: The final verse draws heavily from the imagery of Psalm 63:1 (“My soul thirsts for you, my whole body longs for you”). It is a beautiful poetic expression of a soul desperately seeking God’s embrace to end earthly sorrows (Aahein).
