کوئی انج دا کوئی انج دا سجدہ لیب جاوے ۔

سجدہ لیب جاوے ۔

Koi Inj Da Sajda lab Javay

Mai Hath Uthawan Rab Man Javay

------------

"If I could find a way to bow in such a manner,
I would raise my hands and accept it as my Lord.

کوئی بہانہ یا قضاء

Koi Dass bahana Way,

Sajna Teri Deed Hovay,

Naal Eid hovay Koi Dass bahana Way,

Sajna Teri Deed Hovay Naal Eid hovay

-------------

"Give me some excuse,
O beloved, if seeing you
Could be as joyful as celebrating Eid."
