Mainu Sukh Da Sunehra
Bring Me Good Tidings Soon
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
Bring me glad news soon,
मैनूं सुक्ख दा सुनेहड़ा तूं झब लिआवीं वे,
O traveller.
पांधिया हो ।
I am bent, I am drowning.
मैं कुबड़ी मैं डुबड़ी होईआं,
Tell him all my pain.
मेरे सभ दुक्खड़े बतलावीं वे ।
O traveller.
पांधिया हो ।
Loose hair, hands at my throat, the braid undone—
खुल्हियां लिटां गल दसत परांदा,
tell him; do not be ashamed.
इह गल्ल आखीं ना शरमावीं वे ।
O traveller.
पांधिया हो ।
I offer a hundred thousand, twice that if you ask.
इक्क लक्ख देंदी मैं दो लक्ख देसां,
Only bring my love to me.
मैनूं प्यारा आण मिलावीं वे ।
O traveller.
पांधिया हो ।
My love has sent a letter.
यारां लिख किताबत भेजी,
Sit with me aside and tell me what it means.
किते गोशे बह समझावीं वे ।
O traveller.
पांधिया हो ।
May Bulleh's love turn toward me.
बुल्ल्हा शहु दियां मुड़न मुहारां,
Write, and send the letters soon.
लिख पत्तियां तूं झब पावीं वे ।
Bring me glad news soon,
मैनूं सुक्ख दा सुनेहड़ा तूं झब लिआवीं वे,
O traveller.
पांधिया हो ।
