Your loyalty did not make me content
Na khafa di kram sitam
Nor did your oppression made me sad
Jhwand yo taal de chi ghageegy
Life is like a swing that shrieks
Kala zeer ao kala bam
Sometimes up, sometimes down
Daa yo dwa garai jhwandoon
Life is only a few moments long
Pa khanda khanda ye teer ka
Live it happily with ease
Da jahaan khudaya janjaal de
Oh God, this world is messed up
Kala wraan ao kala sam
Often in ruins, sometimes in order
Baadshahi da jahaan sa kri
Why desire for being an emperor
Zaan la wali ziatay gham
Why do you want to increase you worries
Da insaaf talal mushkil di

Sa ba dairr kri sa ba kam
Sometimes you may favour one over the other
Sa ba dairr kri sa ba kam
