Na Maro Na Maro Mujhe

Mein Baba Ki Raaj Dulaari Apne Chacha Ko Jaan Se Pyaari Mein Pardesi Hoo Dukhyari Dekh Rahe Ho Aawo Zaari Margaye Waris Ab Tanha Hoo

I was the beloved princess of my father, Dearer than life to my uncle, I am a stranger, a sorrowful one, Are you watching my weeping and wailing? My guardians have passed, now I am alone

Paani Mangu Toh Mat Dena Seekh Liya Hai Pyaasi Rehna Guth Kar Jeena Guth Kar Marna Lekin Yeh Kaisa Hai Kareena Dekh Lo Nabze Mein Laasha Hoo

If I ask for water, do not give it, I have learned to remain thirsty, To live in suffocation, to die in suffocation, But what kind of manner is this? Look at me, I am a corpse with a pulse

Baba Se Thi Jung Tumhari Bacho Se Kya Hai Bezaari Saans Ruk Jaati Hai Hamari Chalne Mein Bhi Hai Dushwaari Chaar Baras Ki Zaeefa Hoo

Your war was with my father, Why this resentment towards children? My breath catches in my throat, Even walking has become difficult, I am an old woman of only four years

Khoon Rawa Kaano Se Hamare Tumune Tamache Itne Maare Kaash Jo Ammu Hote Pyaare So Gaye Wo Toh Neher Kanaare Phir Bhi Dekho Zinda Hoo

Blood flows from my ears, You have struck so many slaps, If only my beloved uncle were here, But he sleeps by the riverbank, Yet look, I am still alive

Chin Gaya Mujhse Aapka Seena Bhool Chuki Hok Raat Ko Sona Dard Ka Takiya Ghum Ka Bichona Pyaas Lage Toh Aansoo Peena Ek Diya Jalta Bhujta Hoo

Your chest has been snatched away from me, I have forgotten how to sleep at night, Pain is my pillow, sorrow is my bedding, If I feel thirsty, I drink my tears, I am a lamp flickering, burning and extinguishing

Ghar Se Chali Toh Shehzaadi Thi Ranjo Alam Ki Kab Aadi Thi Qismat Mein Yeh Karwa Di Thi Paani Ki Kab Faryaadi Thi Naado Paani Mein Tishna Hoo

When I left home, I was a princess, I was never accustomed to such grief and pain, This was written in my destiny, I was never one to beg for water, I am thirsty amidst the water

Besar Laashe Gaur Andhera Khoon Ki Boo Hai Ghum Ka Pehra Zakhm Kaleje Ka Hai Gehra Aansoo Hai Rukhsaar Pe Thehra Chaar Baras Ki Zaaefa Hoo

Headless bodies, the darkness of the grave, The scent of blood, the guard of sorrow, The wound in my heart is deep, Tears are frozen on my cheeks, I am an old woman of only four years

Pursa Hai Yeh Rehano Raza Ka Ae Shahzaadi Dard Ki Malika Haay Tera Taboot Na Utha Tera Toh Marqad Qaidi Tha Kehti Rahi Tu Mein Dukhiya Hoo

This is the offering of condolences from Rehan and Raza, O Princess, O Queen of Pain, Alas, your funeral bier could not be lifted, Your grave was that of a prisoner, You kept saying, 'I am a sorrowful one'
