Hik Wari Sir Menkoo Babe Da Sajjad Bhira Milwa Eh

O brother Sajjad, let me meet the head of my father just once.

Meda Vaada Heh Wal Na Rosa Menkoo Piyoo Mazloom Deh Ik Wari Rukhsar Zara Chumwa Eh

I promise I will not complain again, Just let me kiss the cheeks of my oppressed father one last time.

Menkoo Khaak Teh Neendar Nahi Ohndhi Jada Samdi Haa Kan Dukh Wende Menkoo Shimmar Tamache Maare Hin Mede Rukhsar Gawa Eh

Sleep does not come to me on this dust; whenever I try to sleep, my ears ache. Shimr has struck me with slaps, My cheeks are the witness to this.

Chow Saala Dee Masooma Deh Nahi Sar Deh Waal Safaid Honde Meh Waang Zaheefa Hogay Ah Gaya Dukh Babe Da Kaah Eh

The hair of a four-year-old innocent girl does not turn white, But I have become like an old woman, Such is the grief of my father.

Meh Piyoo Dee Matam Daar Jeda Zindan Eh Shaam Ich Mar Wesa Menkoo Dafan Kare Sajjad Bhira Eho Mela Chola Paa Eh

I am the mourner of my father; if I die in this prison of Shaam, Let brother Sajjad bury me, In this very dusty, torn garment.

Kiya Haal Dasa Baqir Jeewi Menkoo Shaam Dee Garmi Kaah Gay Eh Menkoo Gin Wanjh Is Zindan Wicho Nahi Lagdi Veer Hawa Eh

How can I describe my state, Baqir? The heat of Shaam has consumed me. Take me away from this prison, Brother, I cannot even feel a breeze here.

Thoo Sar Babe Da Wanjh Giniya Shala Rath Akhiya Dee Band Theewi Jeh Piyoo Da Sar Menkoo Na Miliya Wal Muk Wesan Saa Eh

You have gone and brought my father's head; may the blood from my eyes finally cease. If I do not receive my father's head, Then my breath will surely leave me.
