Amman babe di bhaliai
Our parents left us this kindness
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
Our parents' kindness: now we reap its fruit.
अम्मां बाबे दी भलिआई, उह हुन कंम असाडे आई ।
The parents went two different ways; the son inherits honour.
अम्मां बाबा होर दो राहां दे, पुत्तर दी वड्याई ।
For a little grain they tear at hair; every house is at war.
दाणे उत्तों गुत्त बिगुत्ती, घर घर पई लड़ाई ।
Our troubles began the day they swallowed down that wheat.
असां कज़ीए तदाहीं जाले, जदां कणक उन्हां टरघाई ।
Fed by charity, we rend Friday's peace and turn our claim upside down.
खाए खैरातें फाटीए जुंमा, उल्टी दसतक लाई ।
Bulla, the parrots are driven out; owls inherit the garden.
बुल्ल्हा तोते मार बागां थीं कढ्ढे, उल्लू रहन उस जाई ।
Our parents' kindness: now we reap its fruit.
अम्मां बाबे दी भलिआई, उह हुन कंम असाडे आई ।
