Kafi · Shah Hussain

Maaye Ni Main Kinnu Aakhan

مائے نی میں کِنوں آکھاں

Shah Hussain’s cry of separation, in the voice of a daughter speaking to her mother.

  1. 1

    مائے نی میں کِنوں آکھاں، درد وچھوڑے دا حال نی

    Maaye ni main kinnu aakhan, dard vichhoray da haal ni

    Mother, to whom shall I tell the pain of separation?

  2. 2

    دھواں دُھکھے میرے مرشد والا، جاں پھولاں تاں لال نی

    Dhuaan dhukhe mere murshid wala, jaan phola taan laal ni

    The smoke of my guide’s fire smoulders within me; when I stir it, I find live embers.
