Sanson Ki Mala Pe
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan • From “Love and Devotion (Real World Gold)”
Love and Devotion (Real World Gold)’s Sanson Ki Mala Pe Lyrics Translation
The verses later set aside formal worship in temples and mosques. The lyrics question the need for a letter when the beloved lives inside one’s own body and mind. This suggests a complete internal union that makes physical distance irrelevant.
