main janda tainu aj peed hundi
dil tere uthhdi ae chees main janda aunde
din ch tufan kai kujh sujhda na uddi ae reet
rakhdi si jisnu tu sanbh-sanbh
ghut-ghut seene naal la
kal jo si sohna sagna da haar tera
ajj ban giya gal da o faah
ni ballo ni ballo gam kahda
ae tan lekha si karma da
vekh lai jar lai ihnu khirhe mathhe
beetega sama hovange kathhe
main janda dabbian tu kai yadan
jo suttian na gaian taitho
o aundian ne kandhan tap
jado meete tun akhan
jado lave foki mattan maitho
kardi ae nitt tu mukadma
kardi ae tikhian jirha
kade akhein dokhi
kade kar devein bari
par hovey na koi faisla
ni ballo ni ballo gam kahda
ae tan lekha si karma da
vekh lai jar lai ihnu khirhe mathhe
beetega sama hovange kathhe
tera maseeha kive das bane koi
duniya sabh bhulli firdi
khud varke tainu folne paine
khud painde tainu chalne paine
navein akhar gharne paine
i know that you are in pain, your heart shrieks, i know many tempests arise
in your heart, you are not able to understand as a custom is vanishing, the
custom (ritual-reet) which you really cared after, which you held closed to
your chest (bosom), what yesterday was a beautiful necklace, today has
become a hanging knot. ni ballo( name of the person being addressed) why
there is sorrow, it was the destiny written, watch it, tolerate it, with
pleasure, we will be together after this.
