| We are going to sit in a lonely corner to hide ourselves And to shed those tears which are sitting in our eyes Our heart has been teasing us like an uncompromising child We are going to arrange for its entertainment with our agonies Let us see what happens to our open and begging lap We are going to make our annoyed friend to forgive our mistakes Our cloak is worn away yet we have the rare Gems inside it We have heard that an expert jeweler has come from a distance And we are going to show these Gems to him to evaluate them Oh Gracious God we are ashamed to appear before You As we are the old sinners, yet we must bow before You for mercy We who live in foreign, what to speak of our life or death It is only to pick up some grains like sparrows that we are there The inheritors of our heritage are lost into a hare’s sleep And we are blocking that earth which is being flowed in water He has come back a tedious journey of the mountains of Koh Kaaf So we are going to recite the Heer before Mian Mohammed Buksh What these worldly people have to pay us for our tears We are going to that person who has an eye to judge the pearls It does not look like that we can pass an isolated kind of life We are going to get her written in the lines of our hands The messenger crow comes and sits on the edge of our roof We intend to go to his land today to tell him of our sorrows It is better to weigh and test ourselves of the heavy duties Before we take the burden heavier than the time itself O the people of the world, enjoy the deep and sweet dreams We are also going to decorates the palace of her sweet memories A team of Pinwal is alluring our bosom friend to its charms We are also going to sing songs of love on his marriage O the people come and see the dowry of our dear land We are going from door to door to show its heritage The hectic busy activities do not allow us to think of her So in a corner we are making some prints of her in our mind There is a shrine of Peer Mukam to the other side of Tatral We are going to that saint to offer the sheet of roses on his shrine The saint Baba of Nekey Wala has also sent us a new message We are going to taste his food of love on coming Friday Pain and misery, both have passed a good brotherly life We are strengthening their mutual brotherly relations further God knows what has happened to our land and why it is groaning We are trying to search and find out reason for its constant unrest Our people were very patient, contented and thankful to God What devils have caught hold of them; we are going to dig out The religious teacher has thrown away his religious obligations And we have to teach morality to our children We are very simple, upright and straight forward people Yet we have to change the fate of the clever to win the lost game We may perhaps be able to keep up our old traditions, so We have taken the earthen toys for children going to streets The bomb blasts have blackened all the beauties of our land We are going to plant for another time the plants of love What beautiful roses are there on this land of Shah Murad We are arranging a sojourn of this garden for the people Our hopes have changed our hearts into the beauty of Kala Kahar We are going to hold a fare taking these fragrances into our eyes Our land owes the dervishes like Bagh Hussain Kamal We are going to satisfy our inner eye by making a visit to him There is a beautiful name of Majid Siddiqi in Punjabi poetry We are taking him to cross the river Chenab with Sohni The famous poet who is known by the name of Abed Jaafery Let us go to him and find out some gems of verses in his cloak This is also the land of Kabul Jaafry, the well known writer We are going to have a sun bath under his “Sooraj” Every where there is a loud noise of Baqar Saeen’s Chuni We are going to cover the head of the daughter to Dhan under it Here the well known singers like Ynus,Ahmed, Gulshan, Rajab And Hassan live, we are playing the musical instruments for them Our people are in a plight and our land full of pain and misery We are trying to share their sorrows as far as we can do If any body asks about us where we have gone at the moment Tell them Ehsan that we have gone to the shrine of Shah Saiden To make an ecstatic dance there to forget our sorrows.
