Without you, they don’t sleep.

My beloved, why have you gone so far?
Door Hoke Neendan Aundiyan Nai,
Being far away, I cannot sleep.
Karle Taras Ve,
Have some mercy.
Hawa Banke Tu Aja Mere Pas Dholna,
Come to me like the wind, my love.
Ve Main Tere Nal Nai Bolna Je Aya Na Tu,
I won’t speak to you if you don’t come.
Tujhko Dhundoon Vich Galiyon Main,
I search for you in the streets.
Pyar Ki Pake Hathghadiyan Main,
Bound by the chains of love.
Iβsβhβqβ Tβeβrβeβ Mβeβiβnβ Hβoβ Gβaβyβiβ Rβoβgβaβnβ,
I have become ill with your love.
Haye Main Teri Ho Gayi Jogan,
Alas, I have become your devotee.

Itni Der Bhi Na Kar Dayio,
Don’t take so long.

Lest my breath should cease.
Mere Nain Baras De,
My nights are filled with rain (of tears).
