Uth gaye gawandon yaar
Rabba hun ki kariye
There goes my Love!
What do I do, my Lord?
Uth chaley hun rahinde nahin
Hoya saath tiyar
Rabba hun ki kariye
He’s already made a move
His staying back is hard
With his wayfarers all packed
What do I do, my Lord?
Dhandh kaleje bal bal uthdi
Bin dheke deedar
Rabba hun ki kariye
My heart is afire
Like half-backed shard
What do I do, my Lord?
Bulle Shah piyare bajhon
Rahe uraar na paar
Rabba hun ki kariye
My love having gone
I am in midstream hauled
What do I do, my Lord?
