Bol Kandeyan De Hikk Naal Laa Laye
We embraced the sharp, stinging words of critics against our own hearts.
Bahut Phullan Di Vichaari Hi Nahi
While we foolishly ignored the fragrant, gentle blossoms surrounding us.
Uche Soorjan Nu Manni Baithe Apna
We identified solely with the unreachable, scorching suns.
Nigah Deeweyan Te Maari Hi Nahi
Refusing to cast our eyes upon the humble lamps that could have guided us.
Asi Sacheyan Naal Russde Rahe
We harbored resentment toward those who spoke uncomfortable truths.
Te Jhoothe Nu Manaa Baithe Aann
While we desperately sought the approval of deceivers.
Ho Geya Sawera Taareyan Nu Ginde
The dawn has broken while we were busy quantifying the fading stars.
Te Asi Chann Hi Gawa Baithe Aan
In our distraction, we have utterly forfeited the moon.
Ho Geya Sawera Taareyan Nu Ginde
Morning light arrives as we tally the distant constellations.
Te Asi Chann Hi Gawa Baithe Aan
And we realize we have lost our most radiant source of solace.
Chhaavan Vich Baitheyan Nu
Those who dwell comfortably in the shade of complacency,
Parchhave Bhull Jaande Ne
Soon lose track of their own shadows and identities.
Sarr Jaanda Bohteyan Da
Many find their spirits scorched by harsh reality,
Par Taanve Rull Jaande Ne
But only a few are truly ground into oblivion.
Gallan Hi Ne Vekhna Pyaar Tod Vangan Ve
It is merely empty rhetoric; I have watched love shatter as easily as glass bangles.
Hunn Chhad De Aa Paune Suit Goorhe Rangan De
Henceforth, I shall abandon the vibrant, deep-colored attire.
Dil Tuttan Ton Maada Hunda Ki Sohneya
Is there any greater agony than the fracturing of a heart, my beloved?
Hunda Pyaar Vich Tutt Jaane Chaa
The true devastation lies in the evaporation of hope within love's embrace.
Chann Je Gawa Leya Ee Koi Gall Nahi
If the moon has slipped from our grasp, it is a minor tragedy.
Ve Layin Taareyan Nu Tuttno Bachaa
Let us prioritize safeguarding the remaining stars from similar collapse.
Chann Je Gawa Leya Ee Koi Gall Nahi
Losing the moon is acceptable, as long as we remain intact.
Ve Layin Taareyan Nu Tuttno Bachaa
Focus your energy on keeping our small hopes from shattering.
Ho Geya Sawera Taareyan Nu Ginde
The light of day finds us still counting the remnants of our dreams.
Te Asi Chann Hi Gawa Baithe Aan
Having surrendered the only light that truly mattered.
Ho Geya Sawera Taareyan Nu Ginde
Awakening to a new day while mourning our losses.
Te Asi Chann Hi Gawa Baithe Aan
We have lost the moon forever.
Saanu Sajjan Na Labbe Kitte Dil Di Saraan Chon
We searched the inns of our hearts but could not find a loyal companion.
Sukhan Khair Diyan Sukhiyan Peer Mod Ke Daraan Chon
We sought spiritual salvation, yet turned the divine guide away from our threshold.
Kihnu Dassde Pyaar Asi? Kihnu Wafa Likhde?
To whom can we confess our love? Who is worthy of our fidelity?
Phullan Baghan De Hathon Vekhe Phulle Asi Vikde
We have witnessed the blooming flowers of the garden being bartered away.
Baith Pattharan Kol Jo Vi Suniyaan
Whatever secrets we gathered while sitting amidst cold stones,
Aan Sheeshe Nu Suna Baithe Aan
We have now confessed to the unforgiving surface of a mirror.
Ho Geya Sawera Taareyan Nu Ginde
Dawn finds us cataloging the remnants of our past.
Te Asi Chann Hi Gawa Baithe Aan
While the moonlight of our life has vanished.
Ho Geya Sawera Taareyan Nu Ginde
Another morning arrives, and we are still counting.
Te Asi Chann Hi Gawa Baithe Aan
Everything meaningful has been lost.
Jinde Bahron Maar Lainde, Asi Andran De Utte
External forces wound the body, but we self-inflict the deepest cuts within.
Din Dassde Je Hunde Calendar’an De Utte
If only the days marked on the calendar could bear witness to our pain.
Vass Chalda Je Hunda Lainde Badal Zaroor
Had we been granted control, we would have certainly altered the course of time.
Leekan Hath Diyan Hundiyan Je Hath Vich Hazoor
If the destiny inscribed on our palms were subject to our own command, my Lord.
Injh Lagda Ve Akh Laggi Nu, Asi Nazran Lawa Baithe Aan
It feels as though in our moment of peace, we invited the evil eye upon us.
Ho Geya Sawera Taareyan Nu Ginde
Morning arrives while we measure our fading light.
Te Asi Chann Hi Gawa Baithe Aan
And we have lost the moon completely.
Chann Je Gawa Leya E Koi Gall Nahi
To lose the moon is a triviality.
Ve Layin Taareyan Nu Tuttno Bachaa
Strive to protect the stars from a similar collapse.
Ho Geya Sawera Taareyan Nu Ginde
The sun rises while we are lost in our counting.
Te Asi Chann Hi Gawa Baithe Aan
The moon is gone, and so are we.
