Satinder Sartaaj – Haazri (Mindfulness) Lyrics English Translation

Gilli Ret Sahil Di Jahi Sajjri Thakavat Nu
Suka Ke Paun Naal Pairan Ton Raatiin Jhaad Ke Sauna

Like damp sand upon the shore, I hold on to this fresh weariness.
With a dry cloth, I wipe it away, washing the night from my feet.

Aah Jihde Valvle Savere Ton Shaaman Teek Daure Si
Unhan Nu Aas Vaale Astbal Vich Vaar Ke Sauna

Ah, those restless ones who ran from morning until evening—
I lead them into the stable of hope and let them rest.

Pende Saar Hi Akhaan Na Meetaan, Haazri Lavaan
Apni Surat Naal Hasti Nu Mur Vaakif Vi Karvaan

Before the rain can even touch my eyes, I make my presence known.
With my own reflection, I make existence recognize itself again.

Duaale Chupp Hai Inni Ke Sanu Sun Riha Saah Vi
Te Chaanan Chaudhvin Da Vi Chubaare Chaadh Ke Sauna

There is such silence all around that even my breath can be heard.
And beneath the light of the fourteenth moon, I let myself drift into sleep.

Eh Mainu Sobhde Baahale Mere Aarhi Jo Raatan De
Meri Jaago ‘Ch Eh Dive Ne Asmaani Paratan De

These nights that belong to me make me rise before dawn.
In my wakefulness, these lamps become layers of the celestial realms.

Duaale Vigsde Aalam Di Chhoti Baat Jahi Paa Ke
Te Lambi Tik-Tiki Laa Ke Main Taare Taak Ke Sauna

Setting aside the world’s fading little concerns around me,
I let the long ticking continue and lie awake, gazing at the stars.

Bade Khush-Khullak Jugnu Jo Mere Khetaan Ton Aaye Ne
Inhan Ne Naal Mere Kanak Nu Paani Luaae Ne

The joyful fireflies that have come from my fields—
They have brought water to my wheat, my golden heart.

Rishte-Daariyan Si Milan Aa Giyan Shehar Nu
Edan Eh Ruttan Kaashni Rang Ke Main Raatan Raad Ke Sauna

Relations came to the city as though they had gathered for a meeting.
So I drape these seasons in saffron hues and wander through the nights.

Eh Hujra Soch Da, Eh Zikar, Eh Taadi Khayalaan Di
Ke Sanu Kudratan Ne Shai Niri Bakhshi Kamaalan Di

This chamber of thought, this remembrance, this star of ideas—
What nature has bestowed upon us is nothing short of a wondrous gift.

Ji Phir Main Be-Khudi ‘Te Laal Jahi Ikk Lakeer Haan Vahunda
Te Jo Nahi Dekhan Chahunda, Oh Supne Saar Ke Sauna

Then once again I lose myself in oblivion, drawing a red line within.
And the dreams I refuse to see, I turn to ash and let them burn.

Jadon Is Zehan Naal Madhoshiyan Da Khel Hunda Ae
Kise Baahri Khidone Ton Oh Kithon Mel Hunda Ae

When this mind begins its game with intoxication,
How could it ever find communion with some toy from the outside?

Niaara Tabsra Sartaj Main Khud Naal Karda Haan
Te Jo Jo Ghaltiyan Hoiyan, Oh Panne Paar Ke Sauna

A solitary reflection, sovereign, I wage my battle with myself.
And every mistake I have made, I tear out the pages and burn them.
