Pining for My Beloved

My heart pines for my beloved Friend!
Some laugh and chat and rejoice
  while others weep and wail and grieve.
Go and proclaim to the spring in bloom –
  My heart pines for my beloved Friend!
My washing and bathing have all gone to waste;
  A knot has settled in my Beloved’s heart.
Oh, set fire to this jewellery and adornment –
  My heart pines for my beloved Friend!
Enemies have driven me mad
  And I am completely engulfed in anguish.
Beloved, come home that I may have a glimpse of you –
  My heart pines for my beloved Friend!
O Bullah, my Beloved has come home;
  I have clasped Ranjha close to my heart.
My grief has vanished beyond the seas –
  My heart pines for my beloved Friend!
