Rāñjhā jogīṛā baṇ āiā
Ranjha has come as a yogi
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
Ranjha returns, a wandering yogi.
रांझा जोगीड़ा बण आया ।
What a part this player plays!
वाह सांगी सांग रचाइआ ।
Bowl-deep eyes cast hawk-like glances.
एस जोगी दे नैन कटोरे, बाज़ां वांङू लैंदे डोरे,
His face dispels all grief; these eyes have lost the jewel.
मुक्ख डिठ्यां दुक्ख जावन झोरे, इन्हां अक्खियां लाल वंजाइआ ।
Ranjha returns, a wandering yogi.
रांझा जोगीड़ा बण आया ।
Ear-rings and neck-beads mark the yogi.
एस जोगी दी की निशानी, कन्न विच मुन्दरां गल विच गानी,
Another Joseph in beauty, he turns alif into the One.
सूरत इस दी यूसफ़ सानी, एस अलफ़ों आहद बणाइआ ।
Ranjha returns, a wandering yogi.
रांझा जोगीड़ा बण आया ।
Ranjha the yogi, I his companion: I will draw his water.
रांझा जोगी ते मैं जोगयानी, इस दी खातर भरसां पाणी,
My earlier years slipped by; now he has cast his spell.
एवें पिछली उमर वेहाणी, एस हुन मैनूं भरमाइआ ।
Ranjha returns, a wandering yogi.
रांझा जोगीड़ा बण आया ।
The beloved wrought this, Bullah; old love cries aloud.
बुल्ल्हा शहु दी इह गत बणाई, प्रीत पुरानी शोर मचाई,
How conceal it? From Takht Hazara he has come.
इह गल्ल कीकूं छुपे छुपाई, नी तख़त हज़ार्युं धाइआ ।
Ranjha returns, a wandering yogi.
रांझा जोगीड़ा बण आया ।
What a part this player plays!
वाह सांगी सांग रचाइआ ।
