Mainu Dard Avallare Di Pir

The Ache of a Strange Affliction

Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.

A strange pain aches within me.

मैनूं दरद अवल्लड़े दी पीड़ ।

A strange pain aches within me.

मैनूं दरद अवल्लड़े दी पीड़ ।

Come, Ranjha, let me see you; forgive what I have done.

आ मियां रांझा दे दे नज़ारा मुआफ़ करीं तकसीर ।

A strange pain aches within me.

मैनूं दरद अवल्लड़े दी पीड़ ।

From Takht Hazara Ranjha comes, poor Heer's guiding light.

तख़त हज़ार्युं रांझा टुरिआ हीर निमानी दा पीर ।

A strange pain aches within me.

मैनूं दरद अवल्लड़े दी पीड़ ।

Other brides see their loves return—what wrong has Bulleh done?

होरनां दे नौशहु आवे जावे की बुल्ल्हे विच तकसीर ।

A strange pain aches within me.

मैनूं दरद अवल्लड़े दी पीड़ ।
