O’ Peer (Guru)! I have caught hold of the corners of your sacred Apron (for help)
Show mercy to me
Pardon me for all (my) misdeeds. Show mercy to me
My aching heart has no remedy (i.e. No medicine) and whatever I do turns fruitless
I am striving hard in every possible way (for getting relief from the agony and pain)
Show mercy to me
Literally I am alive but my life is not better than death, as there is only darkness prevailing in my heart (due to the extreme grief and pathos)
The weakness (of my heart) bestows all kinds of harm to my person
Show mercy to me
The heart is burning and the agony and pain have no bounds
My shrieks in pathos are not evoking any sympathy and hence they are ineffective
Show mercy to me
The heart aches endlessly and makes me a helpless and worthless one
O’ Holder of my hands! Hold my heart too. Show mercy to me
I am the dust of your (sacred) feet and I am stretching myself at your esteemed feet, O’ Beloved of mine
Cut the chains that have arrested me, have a merciful glance at me
Show mercy to me
Please call me to your sacred shrine and hear my grievances
I spend my nights in my eyes (without sleeping) and await your esteemed vision
Please, have a glance at this handful of mud and clay and hear my grievances
My life is spent in sins and it is an utter waste
I am the worst sinner, hear my grievances
O’ the King of the two worlds (i.e. the King of this world and the world to come), please help me
O’ Saviour, on the Day of judgement, hear my grievances
You are my Murshid! (Mystical Leader, Guru) and you are the glazing Sun to me, please enquire about my getting off in a my day to day life, I am your worthless slave
O’ my Lord of Lords, hear my grievances
I have been put at a vast distance from your esteemed person and I am in great need of you holding my hands
I am in not in good condition, (Please) hear my grievances
I am scattered and withered away and am in need of uplifting
You are the pinnacle of the highest ranks and Glory, (Please) hear my grievances
