chete haar shingaar na mainu bhul gayiyaan sab sakhiyaan	Ornaments don't appeal to me anymore I've forgotten all my companions.
har dam ohdi raahwan vekhan eh dukhiyaariyaan ankhiyaan	These sorrowful eyes constantly watch The paths he might tread upon.
tak tak ohdiyaan sunjhiyaan raahwan hun nazaran vi ne thakkiyaan	Gazing endlessly at his empty roads Even my eyes have now grown tired.

yaad ohdi vich chham chham raunde nain ne dardan maare	In his memory, my eyes weep endlessly, pierced with pain.
kulli yaad bhulaayan vi na kite lakh main chaare	Despite countless attempts, I couldn't erase his memory.
mukh partaake tur gaya maahi karke jhoothe kaare	He turned his face away and left, deceiving me with false promises.
saadik rehndiyan dinne udeekan raat nu ginn diyan taare	Oh Saadik, I spend my days waiting Counting stars through the night.
