Sochti hoo ke tamache koi maare na mere

I daydream about nobody slapping me

Goshware koi kaano se uthare na mere

And that nobody would steal my earrings

Wehm aate hai mere dil may na jane kya kya

My mind wanders with all sorts of worries

Ek baar aur mujhe godh may lelo baba

Dad, can you please hold me once again in your arms?

Baba seene se sakina ko lagate jao

Dad, before you go, hold Sakina (SA) to your chest

Ab kahan hogi mulaqat batate jao

Before you go, can you let me know, where will we meet again?

Ab mai pyasi hoo na pani ki zaroorat hai mujhe

I just realized I'm not thirsty anymore and I don't need any water

Koi haajat nahi bas itni si hasrat hai mujhe

I don't want anything either, my only wish is,

Dekhloo phir se jee bhar ke tumhara chehra

that I look upon your face today until my heart's content

Ek baar aur mujhe godh may lelo baba

Dad, can you please hold me once again in your arms?
