Kaafiyan on Birha
The separation of lovers, the pain of separation.“Birha birha aakhiye, birha tu sultaan.”
ab lagan lagi kia karie ( kafi—jhanjoTi )
tun aaia hain main paia hai ( kafi-bhairawi )
wall parde wichch paia yar
hoian nazro nazar nihaal, piare de laD lag
huN main anahad nad wajaya,
rag waDahans kuDe jaandie ni tera joban kuDa, pher na hosia rangula chuDa 1
koN aaia pahin libas kuDe
katt kuDe na watt kuDe
mullan ji ! tusan kinne kahir guzare
paNi bhar bhar gaian sabbhe
tusin ishkon mahiram mul nahin,
dilbar sambhalke neh lai ( kafi-bilawal )
kadi moD muhaaran Dholia
rag tukhaari ( matti deni han baali iaNen nun 1 )
ranjha jogiDa baN aaya ni
paDtalio huN aashak kehDe
watt na karsan maN ranjheTe yar da
huN sanun sad lai ji piare, aapNe kol
wekho ni ki kar gia mahi
rag jangla ( mahi mahi kukdi, main aape ranjhaN hoi 1 )
