Thank You, God For Bring You to Me

Some or even many of you may be familiar with the song "Sultan-e-Ghalbha" (Ruler of the Hearts), which was from a movie of the same name. But you may not know that the movie featured several versions of the song--same music but very different lyrics.

My favorite version is a duet that, at its end, describes the sentiments of along-separated couple who is finally reunited.

I will die for God
Whose Kindness brings the hearts together.
His Compassion solves the problems.
Thank You, God!

What's past is passed.
Troubles are part of the games of Destiny
Thank You, God
for is now Heaven
Our house.

What's past is passed, Come
Come, Let's say Thank You, God.
That He brought together our hearts.
Thank You, God

If, for a day, this Sky
Is Unkind to me and you
Today, there is no trace of sighs
Thank you, God.

From Aref & Ahdiyeh's Duet at closing credits of Ruler of the Hearts (Soltan-e-Ghalbha)
