جاگ رَہی
Touch on each word to display its meaning
جاگ رَہی مَیں تو پِیا کے جگائے [ x2 ]
اِن نیناں مَیں نیند کَہاں رے [ x2 ]
جِن میں پِیا سمائے
جاگ رَہی مَیں تو پِیا کے جگائے [ x2 ]
I stay awake, awoken by my beloved
How can there be sleep in these eyes
… in which my beloved pervades?
I stay awake, awoken by my beloved
کاہے گیو پَرْدیس پِیا
لے گیو مورا ساتھ جِیا
[ both lines x2 ]
موہے کٹھِن ہے رین بِتانا [ x2 ]
جاگ رَہی مَیں تو پِیا کے جگائے [ x2 ]
Oh beloved, why did you go away (abroad)?
You took away my life with you
[both lines x2]
It is arduous for me to spend the night
I stay awake, awoken by my beloved
راہ تَکَتْ دِن …
راہ تَکَتْ دِن ڈوب گیا [ x2 ]
الئے نَہ پنچھی تورا پتہ
دیکھ پِیا موہے بھول نَہ جانا [ x2 ]
جاگ رَہی مَیں تو پِیا کے جگائے [ x2 ]
Watching your path (i.e. waiting), the day …
… waiting, the day is lost
The bird brings no news of you
Look, beloved, you must not forget me!
I stay awake, awoken by my beloved
لے گئے کَچّی نیند اُٹھا کے
لَوٹْ سکا تو مَیں آؤں گا واپَس
سَہْتا ہوُں مَیں بھی جدائی تِری
تجھ تَک بَس میری کوک نَہ جائے [ x2 ]
جاگ رَہی ہے تُو میرے جگائے [ x2 ]
They seized me, half-sleep, and took me away
If I can return, I will come back
I suffer it too, the separation from you
But my lament does not reach you
You stay awake, because of me
اِن نیناں مَیں … [ x2 ]
اِن نیناں مَیں نیند کَہاں
جاگ رَہی مَیں تو …
… مَیں تو پِیا کے جگائے
In these eyes … [x2]
How can there be sleep in these eyes?
I stay awake, awoken by my beloved
… awoken by my beloved
