سگھڑا آويں سانول يار

sighra aaween saanwal yaar

come swiftly, dark, handsome love!

رات دياں وچ سانگ سجن دے رہن ہميشہ سرد رات

raat diyaan wich saang sajan de, rahn hamesha sard raat
the nights and days of separation from my lover always remain bitterly cold

جو اک واري مر کے جيوے فير اناں کي مرنا ہُو

jo ik waari mar ke jeewe, fer unaan ki marna hu
he who, after death, once more lives, what fear has he of death then – He!

دنيا اتو جس دن بھاويں اس دن پردا کرنا ہُو

duniya uto jis din bhaawen, us din parda karna hu
from the world, the day he chooses his mortal frame he can quit – He!

راہاں تي?ياں روز ?وليندياں

raahaan teriyaan roz golaindiyaan
each day, I scour the roads you travelled

من توں آويں کنہں ول يار

man tu aaween kainhn wal yaar
oh, would to God you come back, love!
