[Intro]
(اے غلام نبی) · Oh Ghulam Nabi
(کؤر نا هُشکین کش) · By the dry riverbank
[Verse 1]
کؤر نا هُشکین خَلو تا نیامٹ
Kaur na hushkin khalo ta niyamit
Amidst the dry riverbed
ای نی تون غلام نبی هنداٹ
Ay ni tun Ghulam Nabi handat
I was with you, Ghulam Nabi
دا رَیک تا گُڑاس ٹی
Da raik ta guras tay
In these paths and alleys
نن پاکین سنگ تے تلیسن
Nan pakin sang tay talisan
We used to play and gather stones
نی بچند ئس خژسس
Ni bachand ais khajsas
You used to laugh playfully
گوَات نا ساردین توار تون
Gwat na sardin towar tun
With the cold sound of the wind
[Chorus]
اے غلام نبی نن کؤر نا کش ئٹ
Ay Ghulam Nabi nan kaur na kash ait
Oh Ghulam Nabi, we are by the riverbank
چُنائی نا گازی تے یاسن
Chunai na gazi tay yasan
On the swing of childhood
خنداک نا توار هنداڑے سِلاٹ
Khandak na towar handaray silat
The sound of laughter is still there
دیر نا جاگہ ئٹ خَل سِلاٹ
Dir na jagah ait khal silat
In place of water, there is silence
(نن نا یات ہما کؤر ئٹ) · Our memory is in that river
[Verse 2]
ڈک تا زیمُر ٹی دے هِنّا
Dak ta zaimur tay day hinna
The day passed in the melody of the hills
نن هما خاد نا کش ئٹ تتین
Nan hama khad na kash ait tatin
We were sitting by that same field
نی تسس خُوژین خندا ئس
Ni tasas khujin khanda ais
You gave a sweet smile
خاوری کش ٹی گوَات ئس وسس
Khawri kash tay gwat ais wasas
A wind blew by the dusty bank
ای نی نا چہرے ٹی دیر خناٹ
Ay ni na chehray tay dir khanat
I saw water in your face
دیر ئس که کؤر ٹی الّو
Dir ais ke kaur tay allo
Water that was not in the river
[Bridge]
سال تا باخلی گْزرینگس
Sal ta bakhli guzringas
Years have passed quickly
بلکن دا کش هنداڑے ئِ
Balkan da kash handaray ai
Perhaps this bank is still here
خاک نا تہـ ئٹ خَل سِلاٹ
Khak na teh ait khal silat
Silence is in the depths of the earth
نن نا خُوژین توار تا نیامٹ
Nan na khujin towar ta niyamit
Amidst our sweet voices
(غلام نبی نن نا سنگت) · Ghulam Nabi, our friend
[Chorus]
اے غلام نبی نن کؤر نا کش ئٹ
Ay Ghulam Nabi nan kaur na kash ait
Oh Ghulam Nabi, we are by the riverbank
چُنائی نا گازی تے یاسن
Chunai na gazi tay yasan
On the swing of childhood
خنداک نا توار هنداڑے سِلاٹ
Khandak na towar handaray silat
The sound of laughter is still there
دیر نا جاگہ ئٹ خَل سِلاٹ
Dir na jagah ait khal silat
In place of water, there is silence
(نن نا یات ہما کؤر ئٹ) · Our memory is in that river
[Outro]
کؤر نا هُشکین خَل
Kaur na hushkin khal
The dry riverbed
گوَات نا خُوژین توار
Gwat na khujin towar
The sweet sound of the wind
غلام نبی نن نا کش ئٹ
Ghulam Nabi nan na kash ait
Ghulam Nabi is by our side
(سنگت نن نا کش ئٹ) · Friend, by our side
Lines explained
“دیر نا جاگہ ئٹ خَل سِلاٹ”
Dir na jagah ait khal silat
In place of water, there is silence
This line poignantly highlights the absence of the friend, as the once lively river (a metaphor for shared life) is now silent, reflecting the void left by their departure.
“دیر ئس که کؤر ٹی الّو”
Dir ais ke kaur tay allo
Water that was not in the river
This line suggests that the singer found comfort and life (water) in the friend's presence, even when their surroundings (the river) were barren, emphasizing the deep emotional connection.
“خاک نا تہـ ئٹ خَل سِلاٹ”
Khak na teh ait khal silat
Silence is in the depths of the earth
This line implies that the friend is now buried, and their physical presence is replaced by the silence of the grave, yet their memory (sweet voices) persists.
