مولا ڪائي ماڌوري ملاءِ (O Lord, Grant Me Sweetness)
مولا ڪائي ماڌوري ملاءِ
موالي جو هي عرض اگهاءِ
گهڻي گرمي ۾ جيئندو آهيان
تڏهن ڀنگ چڪو پيئندو آهيان
موالي جو هي عرض اگهاءِ
گهڻي گرمي ۾ جيئندو آهيان
تڏهن ڀنگ چڪو پيئندو آهيان
Transliteration: Mola kaai maadhuri malaa, Mowali jo he arz aghaai, Ghani garmi mein jeeando aahe, Tadha bhang chuko peendo aahe.
Translation:
O Lord, grant me some sweetness,
This is the plea of your devotee.
In the scorching heat, I live,
It is then that I sip on bhang.

ساگر لقماني ٻنهن مان هڪ ڇڏيندس (Sagar Luqmani, I'll Let Go of One)
ساگر لقماني ٻنهن مان هڪ ڇڏيندس
جن رلايو مونکي سڃو تر آ
مان ته چوان ٿو سڀنن سان قهر
هڪ نه هڪ جو مان جنازو کڻندس
جن رلايو مونکي سڃو تر آ
مان ته چوان ٿو سڀنن سان قهر
هڪ نه هڪ جو مان جنازو کڻندس
Transliteration: Sagar Luqmani, banhin maan hik chhadi nandas, Jin ralaayo munhke sanjo tar aa, Maan ta chawan tho sabhin saan qahr, Hik na hik jo maan janazo khandas.
Translation:
I will let go of one between the two, O Sagar Lucmani,
The one who has made me weep, I will choose.
I declare to all, with wrath,
That I will carry the funeral of one or the other.

اسان جا ڀوتار ٿا ڏوڪڙ ن تي ايمان کپائن (Our Leaders Demand Faith in Rupees)

اسان جو ڇا ٿيندو
Transliteration: Asaan ja bhutaar tha dookarn te imaan khapaain, Wehey wuch vari khaen chheila, Asaan jo chha thindo.

Sitting among the barren, eating scraps.
