Dua Faqiran Di Aiha

ਇਸ਼ਕ ਫ਼ਕੀਰਾਂ ਦਾ ਕਾਇਮ ਦਾਇਮ, ਕਬਹੂੰ ਨ ਥੀਵੈ ਬੇਹਾ ।1|

ਤੈਨੂੰ ਰੱਬ ਨਾ ਭੁੱਲੀ ਦੁਆਇ ਫ਼ਕੀਰਾਂ ਦੀ ਏਹਾ ।2।ਰਹਾਉ।

ਹੋਰਨਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਹਸੰਦੀ ਖਿਡੰਦੀ, ਸਾਹਾਂ ਥੋਂ ਘੁੰਗਟ ਕੇਹਾ ।3।

ਸ਼ਹੁ ਨਾਲ ਤੂੰ ਮੂਲ ਨ ਬੋਲੈਂ, ਏਹ ਗੁਮਾਨ ਕਿਵੇਹਾ ।4।

ਚਾਰੇ ਨੈਣ ਗਡਾਵਡ ਹੋਏ, ਵਿੱਚ ਵਿਚੋਲਾ ਕੇਹਾ ।5।

ਉੱਛਲ ਨਦੀਆਂ ਤਾਰੂ ਹੋਈਆਂ, ਵਿਚ ਬਰੇਤਾ ਕੇਹਾ ।6।

ਆਪ ਖਾਨੀਂ ਹੈਂ ਦੁੱਧ ਮਲੀਦਾ, ਸ਼ਾਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਟੁੱਕਰ ਬੇਹਾ ।7।

ਕਹੈ ਹੁਸੈਨ ਫ਼ਕੀਰ ਸਾਂਈਂ ਦਾ, ਮਰ ਜਾਣਾ ਤੇ ਮਾਣਾ ਕੇਹਾ ।8।

عشقَ فقیراں دا قایم دائم، کبہوں ن تھیوے بیہا ۔۔1۔

تینوں ربّ نہ بھلی دعائِ فقیراں دی ایہا ۔2۔رہاؤ۔

ہورناں نال ہسندی کھڈندی، ساہاں تھوں گھنگٹ کیہا ۔3۔

شہہ نال توں مول ن بولیں، ایہہ گمان کویہا ۔4۔

چارے نین گڈاوڈ ہوئے، وچّ وچولا کیہا ۔5۔

اچھل ندیاں تارو ہوئیاں، وچ بریتا کیہا ۔6۔

آپ کھانیں ہیں دودھ ملیدا، شاہاں نوں ٹکر بیہا ۔7۔

کہےَ حسین فقیر سانئیں دا، مر جانا تے مانا کیہا ۔8۔

Translation

Don’t ever forget God, o Woman,
that’s the prayer of mendicants
You may forget all, but God is not worth forgetting
Gold and beauty-short living. Love never decays
You laugh and play with the rest then why act so formal with the lover?
Two pairs of eyes met and acquiesced
then what’s the need of a go-between?
Love settled in your courtyard,
how could you have any worry?
I swear by my mother, I swear by my father:
Love, the best devotion.
The youth you’re so proud of will be reduced to ashes.
Says Hussein, the Master’s fakir,
if you accept your mortality then why the pride?

Translated by Naveed Alam
in Verses of a Lowly Fakir. Madho Lal Hussain,
