Ik Rānjhā mainūn loṛīdā
I need only Ranjha
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
Our love began before creation's “Be.”
कुन-फअकूनों अग्गे दीआं लगियां,
This was no stolen love.
नेहुं ना लगड़ा चोरी दा,
Ranjha alone is all I need.
इक रांझा मैनूं लोड़ीदा ।
He goes off with the buffaloes;
आप छिड़ जांदा नाल मझ्झीं दे,
why turn me from the woods?
सानूं क्यों बेलियों मोड़ीदा,
Ranjha alone is all I need.
इक रांझा मैनूं लोड़ीदा ।
No one is like Ranjha to me;
रांझे जेहा मैनूं होर ना कोई,
plea after plea would bring him back.
मिन्नतां कर कर मोड़ीदा,
Ranjha alone is all I need.
इक रांझा मैनूं लोड़ीदा ।
The proud women have lovely eyes;
मान वालियां दे नैन सलोने,
the fair girl's scarf is red.
सूहा दुपट्टा गोरी दा,
Ranjha alone is all I need.
इक रांझा मैनूं लोड़ीदा ।
Bullah, Ahad and Ahmad are not apart;
अहद अहमद विच फरक ना बुल्लिआ,
a tiny turn makes the difference seem.
इक रत्ती भेत मरोड़ी दा,
Ranjha alone is all I need.
इक रांझा मैनूं लोड़ीदा ।
