Gharyali Diyo Nikal Ni BY Bulleh Shah
Gharyal diyo nikal ni
Aaj pe ghar aya lal ni
Sack the gong-man
My love has come home today
Gharri gharri gharyal bajavey
Rain wasal di pya ghatawey
Merey mann di baat jey pawey
Hathoon ja suttey gharyal ni
He strike the gong time and again
And shortens my night of dance and song
If he were to listen to me
He would throw away the gong
–
Gharyal diyo nikal ni
Sack the gong-man
Anhad baja bajey sohana
Matrab sukhrra maan sohana
Bhulla soam, salat, dogana
Madh piyalla den klaal ni
Here is the unstruck melody
With a master player and a colorful hue
I’ve forgotten, my prayers and fasts
The barman offering cups of brew
–
Gharyal diyo nikal ni
Sack the gong-man
Mukh dekhaan tey ajab nazara
Dukh diladar uth gaya sara
Rain wadhi kuch karo pasara
Din aggey dharo diwal ni
Seeing him is an enchanting sight
One forgets all aches of life
Let the night spread out long
And the morn wait a strife
–
Gharyal diyo nikal ni
Sack the gong-man
Tooney kaman kraey bathery
Sehrey aaye waad waderhey
Taan jani ghar aya merey
Rahaan lakh waarey es naal ni
I have indulge in magic a lot
With necromancers and many a seer
Now that he has comeback home
We’ll live together a million years
–
Gharyal diyo nikal ni
Sack the gong-man
Bulleh shah di seaj pyaari
Ni main taar noharey taari
Kiwey Kiwey meri aayi waari
Hun wichran hoya muhaal ni
He has saved me from many a hazard
Bulleh’s bed is cosy and warm
After much wait my turn has come
No happenstance may do us harm
Sack the gong-man
Gharyal diyo nikal ni
Aaj pe ghar aya lal ni
Sack the gong-man
My love has come home today
