Mai Khaak Pe Sojaungi Haa Kehti Hu Baba.... Seene Pe Sulane Ko Kaha Kehti Hu Baba

I will sleep on the dust, Yes, I am saying this, O Father... I am not asking to be put to sleep upon your chest, O Father.

Kehti Hu Ke Chehra Hi Dikhajaiye Baba Marne Se Mere Pehle Hi Ajaiye Baba Pehlu Me Chhupane Ko Kaha Kehti Hu Baba..

I only ask that you show me your face, O Father, Please come to me before I die, O Father, I am not asking to be hidden in your embrace, O Father.

Bachhe To Bohut Chhote Hua Karte Hai Baba Har Ek Musibat Pe Gila Karte Hai Baba Mai Naaz Uthane Ko Kaha Kehti Hu Baba...

Children are usually very small, O Father, They complain about every little hardship, O Father, I am not asking you to pamper me, O Father.

Seh Lungi Jo Haatho Ki Lakeero Me Likha Hai Zindaa'n Ke Andhero Ka Gila Kisne Kiya Hai Mai Shamme Jalane Ko Kaha Kehti Hu Baba...

I will endure whatever is written in my fate, Who has complained about the darkness of this prison? I am not asking you to light candles for me, O Father.

Baba Mere Bachpan Ka Takaza To Nahi Tha Khwabo Mei Khilaune The Janaza To Nahi Tha Gaudi Me Khilane Ko Kaha Kehti Hu Baba...

Father, this was not the demand of my childhood, In my dreams there were toys, not a funeral shroud, I am not asking to be played with in your lap, O Father.

Baba Mere Zakhmo Ki Dawaa Kaun Karega Ab Jaan Sakina Ko Bhala Kaun Kahega Pehlu Me Chhupane Ko Kaha Kehti Hu Baba..

Father, who will tend to my wounds? Who will lovingly call me 'Sakina' now? I am not asking to be hidden in your embrace, O Father.

Zindaa'n Ke Andhere Me Sula Kyu Nahi Dete Baba Mujhe Marne Ki Dua Kyu Nahi Dete Mai Lori Sunane Ko Kaha Kehti Hu Baba...

Why don't you let me sleep in the darkness of this prison? Father, why don't you pray for my death? I am not asking you to sing me a lullaby, O Father.

Koi Bhi Nahi Aansu Mere Pochne Wala Sar Pe Nahi Hatho Ko Koi Pherne Wala Baaho Me Chhupane Ko Kaha Kehti Hu Baba,...

There is no one here to wipe my tears, No one to run their hands over my head, I am not asking to be hidden in your arms, O Father.

Marjau Agar Baba Tera Shaam Ho Aana Beemar Akela Hai Janaze Ko Uthana Goudi Mei Uthane Ko Kaha Kehti Hu Baba...

If I die, Father, please come to Shaam, My brother is ill and alone, please lift my funeral bier, I am not asking to be lifted into your lap, O Father.

"Armaan" Sakina Ke Yahi Bain The Haye Mai Kehti Rahi Baba Magar Aap Naa Aaye Turbat Mai Banane Ko Kaha Kehti Hu Baba..

"Armaan", these were the lamentations of Sakina, I kept calling out, Father, but you did not come, I am not asking you to build my grave, O Father.
