Prabh ji es vida de vele, Sachi gahl alaaeeye.Daan karaaeeye jaaN kar moti, Taan kar birha paaeeye, Prabh ji hun taan birhon-vihooni, Miti mukat karo, Te mainu vida karo!
Lord, at this time of farewell, Let us declare the truth.It is only if we give away pearls, That we receive separation.Lord, now that this clay is bereft of separation, Set it free, And bid me goodbye.
Dudh di rute ambari moee, Baabal baal-varese, Joban-rute sajan mariyaMoye geet pale the, Hun taan Prabh ji haara je, Saadi baan na ghut pharo, Mainu vida karo, Kosa hanj shagan paao saahnu
My mother died in my milk-years, My father during childhood.My beloved died in the season of youth, And these cursed songs were born.Now, O Lord, I entreat you, Do not clutch my arm so tightly.Bid me goodbye. Gift me a warm tear, lay separation upon my palm, and bid me goodbye.
