That I may be reborn as a human
in Punjab,
to this very land I may return
To this hacked, chewed up earth,
in a modest home
Of a modest caste I may be known
On a leafless tree an unlucky bird
I may sing that very song of separation
On the moonless night I may visit His Pond of Nectar
On the full-moon night I may bathe in the river Chenab of love.

Maanas janam dobaara paawaN
eiss hi des Punjab 'ch aawaN
waddi tukki dharti te wadday-tukkay ghar wich
waddi-tukki zaat da main akhwaawaN
birch nipatray te panchhi chandra
ohiyO geet vigochay de gaawaN
masseya dihaarhay Har-sar jaawaN
punneyaN ishaq jhanaaN wich naahvaN |
