Mori Araj Suno'

Tina Sani

Mori araj suno, dastagir pir
O my Lord, pay heed to my appeal
(repeat)

Mairee kahun kaa say mein apnay jiya ki pir
I am a faithful follower of my Creator

Mori araj suno, dastagir pir
O my Lord, pay heed to my appeal

Rabba sachiya, toon tay akhia see
My true Lord, you had said

Ja oye bandiya jug da shah ain tu
"Go man, you are master of the world

Saadian nemataan terian daulataan nenh
My bounties on earth are your treasure

Saada naib the alijah ain tu
You are the viceroy of your Creator"

Ais laaray teh torr kudh puchia eh
After baiting me with these promises

Kee ais nimanay teh beetiyaan nenh
Countless years have passed by

Kaddi saar we layee o rab saiyaan
My Lord, did you ever enquire what transpired with your man

Terey shah naal jugh kee kitiyan nenh
What your man has suffered in this world?

Kithay dhons police sarkar dee eh
Somewhere, those in power and with the means intimidate, harass and terrorize

Kithay dhandhli maal patwaar di eh
Elsewhere, draft and bribery are rampant

Ainj hadaan wich kalpay jaan meri
My soul is shaken down to my bone

Jeevain phahee ich koonj kurlaundi eh
Just like a bird flutters when caught in a trap

Changa shah banayaee rab saiyaan
You made a fine king indeed, my sweet lord

Paulay khaandayaan waar na aundi eh
All I have gotten are endless beatings

Mainu shahi naeen chaidi rab meray
I don't want kingship, my Lord

Mein tay izzat da tukkar mangna haan
All I need is a morsel of respect

Meinu taang naeen mehlaan maraiaan di
I have no desire to live in palaces

Mein tay jeevain di nukkar mangnaa haan
I just want a small nook to live my life

Meri mannain tay tairian main mannan
If you agree with me, I will agree with you

Teri sohn jay ik wi gal moran
I won't decline anything no matter how unreasonable

Jey ay maang nai pujdi tain rabba
If you don't look out for me God!

Fayr main jawan teh rab koi hor loraan
Then I should go and seek for myself another god

Mori araj suno, dastagir pir
O my lord, pay heed to my appeal
(repeat)


Arieb Azhar:

Iss surat seh
With this grimace

Arz sunatay
Pleading

Dard batatay
Sharing the pain

Nayya khaitay
Rowing the boat

Minnat kartay
Asking for his blessings

Rasta taktay
Waiting expectantly

Kitni sadiyaan beet gai hain
Countless centuries have passed by

Ab jakar yeh bhaid khulla hai
Only now has it been revealed

Jis koh tum ne arz guzari
The one who you had appealed to

Jo tha haat pakarnay waala
The one who held your hand and guided you

Jis jaag laagi nao tumhaari
Where your boat had docked

Jis say dukh ka daaroo manga
From whom you had asked for a panacea for your pain

Toray mandir may joh nahin aaya
The one who did not visit your temple

Woh to tum heen thay
It was you only

Woh to tum heen thay
It was you onl

I shall return one day

To my home so far away

I left the shores for another place

To find a new nest and a new face

But my heart will forever go

To the land where the five rivers flow.

I shall return one day

To my home so far away

The crops grow tall and lush

Where Mother Earth does blush

The harnessed waters gently go

Through green fields that grow

Giving sustenance to all mankind

This is what I shall never find

Anywhere else but here

This place to me is dear ………

I shall return one day

To my home so far away

My heart skips along the way

Where the canal waters play

Among saplings dressed in green

Where the coloured birds preen

Like the young girls in smiles

Oh! I could walk miles and miles

Just to get a look of my land

How I long to touch its sands.

I shall return one day

To my home so far away

My village with its winding roads

Where oxen carry the farmer's loads

Where the locksmith beats on the anvil

Where the potter moulds at will

Under the old banyan trees

The belles dance and laugh in glee…..

I shall return one day

To my home so far away

And when a tear drops from my eyes

I remember the early morning bird cries

The first rays falling like arrows of gold

Where the petals of blooms slowly unfold

My desolate heart longs to go back there

To the place across the sea somewhere……

I shall return one day

To my home so far away.
