RAKHEE DAR-A TEY NAUKAR

Rakhee Dar-a Tey Naukar Na Mokal Dijaa-ein,
Disee Doh-a Muhinjaa Kameereen Na Kadhjaayein

Jeheree Jey Teheree Aaun Aiban Haareen
Chhoree Chhinee-a Khay Pyaaraa Na Chhadjaayein
Rakhee Dar-a Tey Naukar Na Mokal Dijaa-ein,
Disee Doh-a Muhinjaa Kameereen Na Kadhjaayein
Rakhee Dar-a Tey Naukar

Apraadh Medaa Jey Jabalan Jedaa
Visaarey Rehem Mein Pehenjey Toon Rakhjaayein
Rakhee Dar-a Tey Naukar Na Mokal Dijaa-ein,
Disee Doh-a Muhinjaa Kameereen Na Kadhjaayein
Rakhee Dar-a Tey Naukar

Madaayoon Jey Muhinjoon, Thiyoon Maarn-hun Jey Agyaan
Ai Dholan Thee Dhaal-a Sabhay-ee Sey Dhakjaayein
Rakhee Dar-a Tey Naukar Na Mokal Dijaa-ein,
Disee Doh-a Muhinjaa Kameereen Na Kadhjaayein
Rakhee Dar-a Tey Naukar

Nuri Nimaareen Aahey Lokan Laj-yaaree
Nuri, Nuri, Nuri
Nuri Nimaareen Aahey Lokan Laj-yaaree
Akhar Ik Mithaa Toon Chappan Sein Ta Chaijaayein
Rakhee Dar-a Tey Naukar Na Mokal Dijaa-ein,
Disee Doh-a Muhinjaa Kameereen Na Kadhjaayein






ABANDON NOT THE ORPHAN!

O! send me not away,
A kept servant at Thy door
O! see not my failings, and discard me not,
Though worthless I be!

Useless and insignificant am I,
And full of faults:
But Beloved, abandon me not,
For a forsaken orphan am I

Mountain-like indeed
Are my trespasses
Yet grant me Thy forgiveness,
And keep me in Thy mercy!

O Beloved! be unto me a shield,
And protect me in this world,
From the consequences,
Of my countless errors!

Reticent is Nuri Nimani,
And bashful with people:
A sweet word from Thy lips,
Is all that she seeks!
