SHiv Kumar Batalvi - Ve Tera Birhara (Loki Poojan Rabb)
Loki poojan rab
Mae tera birhaRa.
Saahnu sau makkeyaaN da haj,
Ve tera birhaRa.....
//People worship god.
I worship separation from you.
It is worth Haj to a hundred Meccas,
This separation from you.//
Lok kahin mae suraj baneya,
Lok kahin mae roshan hoiya.
Sahnu kehi laa gaya agg,
Ve tera birhaRa....
//People say I am as brilliant as the sun,
They say I am famous.
What a fire it has lit in me,
This separation from you.//
PiCHhe mere mera saaya,
Agge mere mera nehra.
Kite jaaye na baahee CHaDd,
Ve tera birhaRa......
//Behind me is my shadow,
Ahead, is my darkness.
I fear that it might leave me,
This separation from you.//
Na is vich kise tann di miTti,
Na is vich kise mann da kooda.
AsaaN chaaRh CHaTaeeya CHhajj,
Ve tera birhaRa....
//No taint of the body is in it,
Nor litter of the mind,
All has been winnowed out,
By this separation from you.//
Jad vi gham diyaaN ghaReeyaaN aaeeyaaN,
Le ke peeRaaN te tanhaaeeyaaN,
AsaaN kol biTHaaya sad,
Ve tera birhaRa!
//When sorrow comes, bringing with it
Loneliness and pain,
I pull it close to me,
This separation from you.//
Kadi tan saatho shabad raNgave,
Kadi tan saatho geet unaave,
Sahnu lakh sikha giya chaj,
Ve tera birhaRa......
//Sometimes it colors my words
Sometimes it weaves through my songs,
It has taught me great deal,
This separation from you.//
Jad peeRaaN mere paeree paiyya,
Sidak mere de sadke gaeeyaaN,
Tan vekhan aaya jagg
Ve tera birhaRa....
//When sorrow, defeated, fell at my feet,
Amazed at my fidelity,
The world came out to see
This separation from you.//
Asaa ja ishkoN rutba paaya,
Lok vadhaaeeya devan aaya,
SaaDe roya gal nu lagg
Ve tera birhaRa...
//Love earned me fame.
People flocked to praise me.
It wept in my embrace,
This separation from you.//
Maenu taaN kujh akal na kaayi,
Duniya maenu dassan aayi.
Saahnu takhat biTHa giya ajj,
Ve tera birhaRa....
//The world turned out to tell me,
That I had been unwise.
It sat me on a throne today
This separation from you.//Video Ve Tera Birhara
