Koee hai iss chupeeti ghabraat vich?
Koee hai iss andheri raat vich?
Jera dukhaa nu sukh banaavega?
Tuttey hoey supney nu jorega?

Keval eko parmatma halley jaagda hai
Sadey kolon sirf prem-pyaar mangda hai
Asi yaara nu rab banaaee firday
Bhaavai yaar dil toren to khakkh darday

Yaar bhaavai russ ke sanu siraap denda
Fer vi sareya naalon vadh ohnu pyaar daee daa
Sohni vich dariya dub muee, gharrey nu minta karke
Par assi ki lehna ehna galla ‘cho, jhootay yaar da palla farke

Yaara di jhooti yaari odho nazar aundi
Jado keval Rab naal yaari reh jandee
Yaara di jhooti yaari odho nazar aundi
Jado keval Rab naal yaari reh jandee

Is anyone there in this quiet anxiety?
Is anyone there in this dark night?
Who will turn my pains into happiness?
Who will put together my broken dreams?

Only the one God is still awake
And all He asks of us is honest love
We (foolishly) make our friend(s) into God
Even if our dear friend has no fear of breaking hearts

Our dear friend may in anger even give us a curse,
But still, we would give him more love than any other
Sohni died drowning in the water, making requests to the pot [that she attempted to float on],
But what do I need from such talk, why hold on to the hem of a fake Friend?

The false love of our “dear friend” is only seen,
When our only remaining friendship is with God Himself.
The false love of our “dear friend” is only seen,
When our only remaining friendship is with God Himself.
