Ghunghat ohley na luk sajna
Main mushtaq dedar de haan
Hide not behind the veil, my love,
I long to have a glimpse of you.
Terey bajho dewani hoyi
Tokaan kardey lok sbhoi
Jeker yaar karey diljoi
Taan faryaad pukaar de haan
Without my love, I feel desolate,
People around me mock my helplessness.
He should come and lift up my spirits,
This alone remains my plea,
-
Ghunghat ohley na luk sajna
Main mushtaq dedar de haan
Hide not behind the veil, my love,
I long to have a glimpse of you.
Muft mukandi jandi bandi
Mil mahi jind aweien jandi
Eik dam hijar nahi main sahndi
Bulbul main gulzar de haan
Your slave is being auctioned free
Come my love and rescue me
No longer can I perch elsewhere
I am the Bulbul of your tree
-
Ghunghat ohley na luk sajna
Main mushtaq dedar de haan
Hide not behind the veil, my love,
I long to have a glimpse of you.
Bulleh Shah owh kon utam tera yaar
Ows dey hath Quraan hey owsey gul zanaar
Bulleh! Who is He?
A strange type of friend!
He has the Quran in his hand
And in the same the holy thread
Ghunghat ohley na luk sajna
Main mushtaq dedar de haan
Hide not behind the veil, my love,
I long to have a glimpse of you.

Bandeya (Live At Baroda)
05:38
|
|||
|
The world and all it contains is mortal
There is no salvation without compliance
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Status and wealth will not help
Only good deeds will prevail here and
In the hereafter
Your sins will wear you down
And haunt you till the end
The worldly pleasures they are but temporary.

Ranjha (Live At Baroda)
03:32
|

|
Day & night pining for Ranjha (my beloved)
I myself have become Ranjha
You should call me Dhido* Ranjha
No more should I be called Heer.
I am Ranjha and Ranjha's me
No difference remains
I have ceased to exist
He lives in me. He believes in me
O maiden, throw away the white apparel
And put on the Sufi's garb
A blemish is so evident on white but
Never on black
O Bulleh! Take me to Takht Hazara**
For me here there is neither hope, comfort
Or support.
*Dhido was Ranja's real name. Ranjha was the caste, but that's the name that endured
** Takht Hazara was Ranjha's home

I want to travel to my beloved's abode
Can someone please accompany me?
Am I to travel all alone
My beloved (Ranjha) is my only healer
Only he is aware of my pain
Yet it seems he doesn't think it necessary
To answer my prayers
Alas, no remedy is at hand.
I want to travel to my beloved's abode
Can someone please accompany me?
But I must travel all alone.

Sanwal (Live At Baroda)

O my beloved!
Please come to me
Listen! Can’t you hear the wailing of my soul?
I am forlorn, I am torn
My beloved is nowhere to be found
I have no way of going to him
O my beloved,
Please come to me
Can’t you hear me wailing?
Desolate am I
Hanging aimlessly. Neither here nor there
I have lost everything. I have lost it all
O my beloved!
Please come to me

There is no peace without you
I am in agony over memories of you
I spend the nights counting the stars
Your absence pains my heart
And brings suffering to my being
There is no peace without you
I am in agony over memories of you.

Raba (Live At Baroda)
08:24
|

|
My God, you are my everything, you are everything
Without you, I am but nothing.
My God, you are the keeper of what’s in my heart, you live in my heart,
In my soul, in my very being – you are everywhere,
The keeper of what’s in my heart.
My very being, my reason to be is because of you – only you,
The keeper of what’s in my heart.
Says Hussain who serves the Lord,
You are everything that I am or can be –
The keeper of what’s in my heart.

Mahi (Live At Baroda)

|
You are my beloved
You are my life and you are my love
My world exists because of you
You are my peace of mind
You are my beloved
You are in every breath I take
How can I ever forget you my love?
My heart flutters with the very mention
Of your name
You are my beloved
Without you there is no life, only desolation
With you comes spring
With you comes joy and happiness

Sajan (Live At Baroda)
11:11
|
|||
|
My beloved has my hand in his,
how can I tell him to leave my hand
The night is dark & stormy,
without a companion/guide/teacher I am lost.
He holds my hand so tightly & with such passion
How can I tell him to leave?
One day you too will release me.
Hussain, the servant of God says,
With just a glance you entered my heart.

Ya Ali (Live At Baroda)
12:42
|
|||
|
Oh Ali, help me overcome my suffering
Please ease my difficulties
I have been turned down and rejected just because I am poor
Please do not turn me away from your door for the same reason
If you do not bless me, whom will I turn to?
If you do not listen to me

Mekaal Hasan Band recommends:
This group, comprised of Hungary's top musicians, most notably drum sensation, Gergo Borlai, is quite possibly one of the most exciting, melodic and seriously musically heavy bands I've ever heard.
