Dohade on Birha
The separation of lovers, the pain of separation.“Birha birha aakhiye, birha tu sultaan.”
sikadian sikadian sik agg na hoi dhukh dhukh bhambaD balia,
meghalian! was bhagin bhaaria, tudh aujhaD desh wasae
kauN janunn sassi wich waDia, uTh naTThi shahir bhamboron
rakkhin laj nilaj na howin, itthe pair pichhanh na dharna
ghul te Khaar paidaish ikse, is bag chaman de dowin
sulan salli te dardan-malli, main phiran diwani jhalli
barakhai agni dikhawai pani rondian rondian raiNi wihaNi
waDDDe wele uThi ke saian saz wazu, baiThian ghabkawan main Thahawan
yar rujhawaN sikkh we mulan bian saTT ghat sab dalilan
akkhian dukh bhari meri dekhani yar tusannun
roz azal di dar dilbar di kitam ishq ghulame
toD zanjir shariat nasda, jad rachda ishq majazi
ghar ghar de wichch dhunman paian husan ranjheTe yaadar dian
sambhal khet mian ishqe da, huN nikli teg mianon
ishak tainDe di nahroge kai tarian karma walDian
hatthin chhalle banhi chuDian
KHuda KHuda bhi sunde hase DekhaN de wichch aaia
lakkh lakkh wari sadke thiwan dilbar yusaf sani
dil nun baN pia ek mae! mainun zahir mul na howe
chanda! chamak wikhaal na sanun, ate na kar maN wadhera
