hasb-e-Rabi Jallallah ma-fe-qalbi ghayr-ullah

Inside this prison I see a strange light,
I see flowing streams of water that dissolve thirst,
allah hu hu allah hu. allah hu hu allah hu
I feel the sweetness of pain, but I cannot feel my skin
I can see people embracing each other, I can see love
hasb-e-Rabi Jallallah, ma-fe-qalbi ghayr-ullah
Mickey mouse is dancing a mad passionate dance
He does not sing but the harps and drums beat in rhythm
allah hu hu allah hu allah hu hu allah hu
I can see a book that has my name written on it,
I open it and the words fly away leaving behind black ink
hasb-e-Rabi Jallallah, ma-fe-qalbi ghayr-ullah
I see mother, she greets me and embraces me,
But I can feel that she does not recognize me,
allah hu hu allah hu allah hu hu allah hu
Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh, Moses, Christ and Mohammad
All are playing a cricket match, everyone is cheering
allah hu hu allah hu allah hu hu allah hu
I see Alice, she is sitting on a turtle,
She is touring the world to open closed doors
hasb-e-Rabi Jallallah, ma-fe-qalbi ghayr-ullah
I speak only two words, but my thoughts are clear
The barman offers me a drink of fire dssolved in water
allah hu hu allah hu allah hu hu allah hu
Out of my death, I am born again…
This time as a stone on planet earth
allah hu hu allah hu allah hu hu allah hu

what hasb-e-Rabi Jallallah, ma-fe-qalbi ghayr-ullah means?
I do not need anything but God, glory to God, There is nothing in my heart but God.
(This is my interpretation, the translation doesn’t sound as good as the arabic.)
