Yawar Abdal’s Dilshad Lyrics With English Translation
Hаrdiki Wavan Kornаs Tabah,
The autumn wind has shattered me within.
Yikhna Baharo Tsalihem Tamah,
O Spring, come forth and mend my spirit.
Chuss Pаrshahar Yeti Bhe Gatsehа Gharai,
I reside in a faraway place, yearning for home,
Doorer Yi Chonui Bhe Ma Zarai,
I cannot endure this pain of separation.
Ma Zarai Mа Zаrаi,
I cannot endure, I cannot endure,
Gatsheha Garai Gatseha Garai,
This longing to return, to be there once more.
Baghe Dilas Phaej Me Lolich Phulаi,
The garden of my heart has flourished with the flowers of affection.
Zuv Jan Tan Mann Tsey Path Fida,
Heart, soul, body, and mind, all offered for you,
Bedard Sаeri Chu Dardil Ne Kanh,
All are unfeeling; no one shows compassion.
Aesit Khata Mey Tse Kortham Wafa,
Even when I stumbled, you granted me kindness,
Aeshqas Chu Chaenis Alam Gawah,
For your love, the universe shall testify in every location.
Sal Chui Tse Myeonui Hazratbalai,
It’s my invitation to Hazratbal (the shrine of Prophet Muhammad’s relic).
Chhay Dedhi Tarfan Yimberzalay,
The setting is graced with the Yimberzal (daffodils).
Yimberzalay Yimberzalay,
With the yimberzal (daffodils)
Hazratbalai Hazratbali,
At Hazratbal, at Hazratbal.
Baghe Dilas Phaej Me Lolich Phulai,
The garden of my heart has flourished with the flowers of affection.
Yikhna Tse Poshan Bhe Male Karai,
Come, and I will crown you with a necklace of blossoms.
Shad Chumai Dilshad Chumai,
Joyful it is, my heart, joyful it is!
Shad Chumai Dilshad Chumai,
Joyful it is, my heart, joyful it is!
