साहिबा, आए घर काहे ना? ऐसे तो सताए ना
My beloved, why don't you come home? Don't torment me like this.
देखूँ तुझको, चैन आता है
I only find peace when I look at you.
साहिबा, नींदें-वींदें आए ना, रातें काटी जाए ना
My beloved, sleep eludes me completely, and the nights feel endless.
तेरा ही ख़याल दिन-रैन आता है
Thoughts of you consume me day and night.
