rab mujhe bata de kya hai mera kasur
kisliye kiya hai bete ko maa se dur
tere bina o meri maa kaise jiyunga mai
hoke juda is dard ko kaise sahunga mai
jism aur jaan me hoga na fasla

Tell me, God, what trespass is mine,
For what deed did you sever the son from his vine?
Without you, O my mother, how shall I breathe?
How shall I bear this pain, this sorrow beneath?
No longer shall flesh and spirit be apart,
