zahaal-e miskeen makun taghaful, varaye naina banaye batiyan;
ki taab-e-hijran nadara may jaan, na leho kahe lagaye chhatiyan
(do not overlook my misery by blandishing your eyes,
and weaving tales; My patience has over-brimmed,
O sweetheart, why do you not take me to your bosom )
shabaan-e-hijran daraaz chun zulf wa roz-e waslat cho umr kotah;
sakhi piya ko jo main na dekhun to kaise kaatun andheri ratiyan
(long like curls in the night of separation,
short like life on the day of our union;
my dear, how will I pass the dark dungeon night
without your face before)
sham savere nain bicha ke raah takuuN main sajan kee
Ram hi jaane kab chamkegi kismat mere aangan kee
( morning and evening, I long for my beloved with waiting eyes
only God knows when will my house will turn lucky with his presence )
nain chura ke jab se saiyyaN door kahin pardes gaye
birhan ki ankhioN se barse bin sawan rut sawan kee
( since my beloved has left me and gone abroad
the longing eyes shed tears like the clouds of rainy season )
sakhi piya ko jo main na dekhun to kaise kaatun andheri ratiyan
( my dear, how will I pass the dark dungeon night
without your face before)
barkha rut jab chham chham barse
manwa roye naina tarse.
taaroN mein jab chanda chamke
dard utthe man mein tham tham ke.
birha sulge jab more tan mein
chupke chupke man-aangan mein.
aas ke bandhan toot gaye hain
baalam mujhse ruth gaye hain
( when the clouds burst forth with rains
my heart weeps and eyes long.
when the Moon shines amonsgt the stars
a pain crosses my heart, in parts.
the loneliness burns in my body
slowly slowly in the courtyard of my heart )
sakhi piya ko jo main na dekhun to kaise kaatun andheri ratiyan
( my dear, how will I pass the dark dungeon night
without your face before)
sooni upar sej hamari kis bid sona hoye
gagan madal per sej pia ki kis bid milna hoye
johari ki gadd johari jaane jo koi johari hoye
ghayel ki gadd ghayel jaane ke jin laagi hoye
dard ki maari ban ban doluuN bhed na miliyo koi
Meera ki tab peer mite jab vaid sanwariya hoye
hey ree main to prem deewani mera dard na jaane koi
( my place is in the sky as I can't go and sleep there
the place of my beloved is in the sky, I don't know when we will meet
the value of a jeweller can only be estimated by a jeweller
the plight of the wounded can only be known to a wounded
wounded, I roam far and away but I can not find my being
the plight of Meera can only be cured when the physician is the beloved
O woefullness !! I am lost in love, nobody knows my ailment )
sakhi piya ko jo main na dekhun to kaise kaatun andheri ratiyan
( my dear, how will I pass the dark dungeon night
without your face before)
yakayak az dil do chashm-e-jadoo basad farebam baburd taskin;
kise pari hai jo jaa sunaave hamare pee ko hamaari batiyan
( Suddenly, using a thousand tricks, the enchanting eyes robbed me
of my tranquil mind;
Who would care to go and report this matter to my darling? )
jogania ka bhes bana kar pee ko dhuundhooN jaooN ree
nagri nagri dware dware pee pee shabad sunaoon ree
dars bhikaran jag mein ho ke darshan bichiya paooN ree
tan man un per waarooN sajni jogania kehlaooN ree
( taking the appearence of a devotee, I search for my beloved
in cities and in houses, I chant his name
a beggar of his glimpse, I want his glimpse
sacrificing body and soul upon my beloved, I am called a devotee )
kise pari hai jo jaa sunaave hamare pee ko hamaari batiyan
( Who would care to go and report this matter to my darling? )
cho sham’a sozan cho zarra hairan hamesha giryan be ishq aan meh;
na neend naina na ang chaina na aap aavein na bhejein patiyan
( Tossed and bewildered, like a flickering candle,
I roam about in the fire of love;
Sleepless eyes, restless body,
neither comes she, nor any message )
pia milan ki aas hai dil mein nainoN mein barsaatein hain
tanhai ke chup aangan mein meri unse baatein hain
( desire of union with my beloved in my heart, rain of tears in my heart
in the silent courtyard of loneliness, I talk to him )
more baanke sajeele sanwaria lillah mujhe ab dars dikha
bin darsan mar na jaoon kahiN mora jeevan hain tore darsan mein
( my handsome colorful beloved, show me your glimpse for God's sake
without seeing you I am dead, my life is just a glimpse of you )
tohe yaad karat mora ang ang hai
mora bhag suhaag tore sang hai
ik baar jo aa more aangan mein
ho jaoon suhagan sakhian mein
( my body aches for you
you are my fortune, my happiness
come for once in my courtyard
I will also be a married one amongst my friends )
mohe chhab dikhla more sanwaria
tori peet mein ho gayi banwaria
tohe nagar nagar main dhuundh phiri
tohe kookat hun main ban ban mein
( show me your glimpse my beloved
I am lost in your love
I search for you through cities and cities
I call for you everywhere )
mohe peet tihari maar gayi
tum jeet gaye main haar gayi
main haar ke bhi balhaar gayi
aisa prem basa more tan-man mein
( your love killed me
you won and I lost.
I devote myself even in my defeat
such intense love is in my body and soul )
na neend naina na ang chaina na aap aavein na bhejein patiyan
( Sleepless eyes, restless body,
neither comes she, nor any message )
bahaqq-e-roz-e-wisal-e-dilbar ki daad mara ghareb Khusrau;
sapeet man ke waraye raakhun jo jaaye paaon piya ke khatiyan
( In honour of the day I meet my beloved
who has lured me so long, O Khusrau;
I shall keep my heart suppressed,
if ever I get a chance to get to her trick )
zahaal-e miskeen makun taghaful, varaye naina banaye batiyan
(do not overlook my misery by blandishing your eyes,
and weaving tales )
