Ho.. Ajj din vehre vich Ajj din vehre vich Yadaan waala khes paa ke Ajj din vehde vich Yadaan waala khes paa ke Dukhan diyan marchaan sukhaun de ni maaye In the courtyard today, O mother In the courtyard today, O mother Let me spread out the shawl of my memories In the courtyard today, O mother Let me spread out the shawl of my memories And lay out on it for drying in the sun, the red peppers of my sorrows Akhiyaan nu sooha rang Changa bada lagda ae Akhiyaan nu sooha rang Changa bada lagda ae Eh de naal dil parchaun de ni maaye To my anguished eyes, this bridal red Appears really lovely To my anguished eyes, this bridal red Appears really lovely So let me gain some joy, O mother, from these peppers if nothing else Aaj din vehre vich Aaj din vehre.. In the courtyard today, O mother In the courtyard today, O mother Ho.. meri badnaamiyan te ber bhari beriyaan ne Meri bad-naamiyaan te ber bhari beriyaan ne Beriyaan da mul koyi naa.. Rasmaan rawaajan de gulail de nishaane utte Kali kali meri jaan maa o.. Tales of my dishonour are like berry-filled jujube trees Tales of my dishonour are like berry-filled jujube trees People bandy my name about as freely as they pick berries Before the slingshot of unjust customs and traditions I stand as the sole target, O mother Roki da ni waddeyan nu Lahu waali mehndi mainu Roki da ni waddeyan nu Lahu waali mehndi mainu Sar vich chaukhi saari Paaun de nimaaye There’s no stopping the stones being hurled at my head Let my steep my hair well, O mother There’s no stopping the stones being hurled at my head Let my steep my hair well, O mother In the henna of blood Ajj din vehre vich Ajj din vehre vich.. In the courtyard today, O mother In the courtyard today, O mother Ibn-e maryam huaa kare koyi Mere dukh ki dawa kare koyi Baat par waan zabaan kat’ti hai Woh kahein aur suna kare koyi Woh kahein aur suna kare koyi Bak raha hoon junoon mein kya kya kuch Kuch naa samjhe Khuda kare koyi Naa suno gar bura kahe koyi Naa kaho gar bura kare koyi Rok lo ghalat gar chale koyi Bakhsh do gar khata kare koyi What is it to me if someone claims to be the son of Mary? I’ll only believe it if he cures me of my agony Say a word in complaint, and she cuts off our tongue She can abuse us all she wants, but we must listen silently She can abuse us all she wants, but we must listen silently What absurd babblings is madness driving me to? God no one understands anything I say Don’t react if someone badmouths you Don’t complain if someone mistreats you If someone embarks on an erroneous path, stop him If someone commits an error, forgive him Ho.. Bujh gaye chiraag saare Chann guchh-muchh hoya Bujh gaye chiraag saare Chan guchh-muchh hoya Khaali e banera shook da oye Aaunda nahi jawaab koyi Ohde aasamaana vichon Ajje teek meri hook da.. haaye! All the lamps have become extinguished The moon has become all crumpled up All the lamps have become extinguished The moon has become all crumpled up The ridge of yearning’s roof is desolate Till this day, the heavens above have never granted a response To my anguished sighs and pleadings Hijraan de kaale sag Mere utte bhaunk de ne Hijraan de kaale sag Mere utte bhaunk de ne Lagda ae mainu eh Siyaaunde ni maaye haaye The black dogs of separation’s misery bark at me The black dogs of separation’s misery bark at me Seems like the fail to recognise me and instead think me a stranger Ajj din vehre vich Yaadaan waala khes pa ke Dukhaan diyaan marchaan Sukhaun de ni maaye Akkhiyaan nu sooha rang Changa bada lagda ae In the courtyard today, O mother Let me spread out the chequered shawl of my memories And lay out on it, for drying in the sun, the red peppers of my sorrows To my anguished eyes, this bridal red Appears really lovely Ajj din vehde vich Ajj din vehde vich In the courtyard today, O mother In the courtyard today, O mother
