Birha Tu Sultan			Birha Tu Sultaan - Separation, You Are King
Birha birha aakhiye Birha tu sultaan Jis tan birha na upaje So tan jaan masaan			Let us sing of separation, Separation is king. A body that does not know separation, Is but a corpse.
AseeN sabh birha ghar jamade AseeN birha di santaan Birha khaaeeye birha paaeeye Birha aaye haNDaan.			We are born in the house of separation, We are children of separation. We receive it, we endure it We are on this earth to deal with it.
AseeN sab birhaaN de maNdareeN Dhukde doof masaan Bin birha umar sugaNdheeyaaN Sabhe binsa jaan.			In the temple of separation each one of us Burns like incense. Without separation, every odor of life Would perish.
Birha seti upajiya Eh dharti te asmaan Birha seti sooraj jaman DihooN paye geRe khaan.			From separation emerged This earth, this sky. From separation originates the sun And the days revolve.
MaeN vaDbhaagi tera birha LaR lahg mere aan Bin birha theeN di THeekari Kise ujaRe kabristaan.			I was supremely fortunate that this separation from you Attached itself to me. Without it I would have been just a piece of clay, In an empty graveyard.
Ahj sabe dhartiyaaN meriyaaN Te sabhe hi asmaan Ahj sabhe raNg hi maenDRe Mere vehDe jhumar paan.			Today, all the world is mine, And all the skies. Today, every color sways In my courtyard.
Tu hae rane man mereeye KyuN loche vasal haNDaan Je disha dishaavaaN aapaseeN Milan kade na jaan.			Why, my troubled soul, Do you long for union? Do different directions Ever try to meet?
AsaaN joon haNDaani mahik di Sahnu birha da vardaan SaaDe is birha de naam toN Kot janam kurbaan.			I must extract the very essence of fragrance, For I have been given the gift of separation. For the sake of this separation I would give up a hundred births.
Birha birha aakhiye Birha tu sultaan Jis tan birha na upaje So tan jaan masaan.			Let us sing of separation, Separation is king A body that does not know separation, Is but a corpse.
