Poem 9 - Farmaan

​

( This one is the Hindi-Punjabi version written with English alphabets.)

​

Koi ander labhe uss nu, koi bahar kare talashan;
Koi sukka-tutta bhitar, par bhar-bhar banddiyaan gilassan;
Koi maan kare us rabb te, koi bhejje mithiyaan ardasaan;
Bandeya banja rannk-fakir, nahin-ni mukni teriyaan farmaisaan;


Mol karin na bahron, jhere sone-sunnakhe chehre;
Kadde bhitarr badd ja bandeya, nehre je ne dupehre;
Labhna gair praaya apna, na koi saukha kam hai sajjna;
Kade milde ne chaubaare te kade painda hai latakna;

Aas rakhin na kisi te, na mauda kisi da chauhna;
Rabb rakha hai bas apna, hor kisi da na hona;
Je mang bhi lya tu kisi nu, par inna bhi ni chauhna;
Bhul na baithin aap nu, te apneyaan nu na pai je pulona;


Gal mithiyaan-mithiyaan karke na kisi nu appan lubhauna;
Tatte tave te appan baithe, jinne chadna sath nibhauna;
Thandiyaan chavaan drakhat te baike, jede labhhe panj daryavaan;
Palle kuch na pauna, meeh paike bhi mud jana.
