Translation of Heer Waris Shah in English

[Sarvar_Gill]

Couplet 1:

awwal hamad Khuda da wird keeje, ishq keeta su jagg da mool miyaan..
pehle aap hi Rabb ne ishq keeta, mashooq hai Nabi Rasool miyaan..
ishq peer fakeer da martaba hai, mard ishq da bhala ranjool miyaan..
khile tinha de baagh qaloob andar, jinha keeta hai ishq qabool miyaan..

translation:

First remember that admirable God, Who made Love the cause of this world..
Firstly it was God who fell in Love, and the Prophet is the beloved..
Those who fall in love are like Holy Saints, man is better as a slave of Love..
Gardens blossom in the hearts of those, who have accepted the Love..

Couplet 2:

dui naat Rasool maqbool wali, jeende haqq nazool laulaak keeta..
wali karke martaba wadda ditta, sabh khalaq de aib thee paak keeta..
sarwar hoye ke auliya anbiyaan da, agge haqq de aap nu khaak keeta..
kare ummati-ummati roz mehshar, khushi chhadd ke jiu ghamnaak keeta..

translation:

Second, praise the Prophet, who revealed the true message of God..
made him the Guardian of high rank, and pure of faults of whole Creation..
He became the leader of the Holy people, and sacrificed his life for truth..
He will call his followers on the Day of Judgement, for whom he has left his happiness and adopted grievance..

Nice! Look forward to reading more..

It seems not many have attempted to translate it this way. came across this article about S. N. Dar who attempted the translation but couldn't find any publisher in his lifetime. 35 yrs after his death someone took notice of it and got it published. good article.

Couplet 3:

chaare yaar Rasool de chaar gauhar, sabha ik thi ik charhendrhe ne..
Abu Bakr, te Umar, Usman, Ali, aapo aapne guni sohendrhe ne..
jinha sidaq yakeen tehqeeq keeta, raah rabb de sees vikendrhe ne...
zauq chhadd ke jinha ne zuhd keeta, wah wah oh rabb de bandrhe ne..

translation:

Four friends (four Caliphs) of the Prophet are like four jewels, each surpassing others in the Council..
Abu Bakr, Umar, Usman and Ali are creditable for their own qualities..
those who have discovered faith and trust, only those heads are acceptable to the God..
those who have abandoned the perceptivity and adopted asceticism are the true men of the God..

Couplet 4:

maddah peer di hubb de naal keeje, jeende khadimaan vich peeriyaan ni...
baajh es janaab de paar nahi, lakh dhoonde phiran fakeeriyaan ni..
jehde peer de nazar manzoor hoye, ghar tinha de peeriyaan meeriyaan ni..
roz hashar de peer de talibaan nu, hath sajjrhe milan giyaan cheeriyaan ni..

translation:

Praise the Pir with love, in whose service lies the spirituallity..
Without His Majesty there is no success, may you search a lot for reclusion..
Those who are accepted by the sight of the Pir, will achieve powers and spirituallity...
On the day of Judgement, Pir's disciples with get the prize in the right hand..
(Pir = Pir Makhdoom of Kasur)

Couplet 5:

Maudud da laadla Peer Chishti, Shakarganj Masud bharpoor hai ji..
khandaan vich Chisht de kaamliyat, sheher fakkar da Pattan maamoor hai ji..
baiyaan Qutubaan de vich hai peer kaamil, jeendi aajizi zuhd manzoor hai ji..
Shakarganj ne aan makaan keeta, dukh dard Punjab da door hai ji...

translation:

Dear to Maudud, Shakarganj is abundant of spirituallity...
Perfection is there in the Order of Chishtis, and city of this Holy Saint, Pakpattan is like heaven..
His name is there in the list of 22 Apostles, whose humbleness and self-discipline were accepted by the God...
When Shakarganj started residing here, the pains and sorrows of Punjab were eradicated...
(Maudud = Khwaja Maudud Chishti; Shakarganj = Sheikh Farid; 22 Apostles = 22 Apostles of Chishti Order)

Couplet 6:

yaaran asaan nu aan sawaal keeta, ishq Heer da nawa banaiye ji..
es prem di jhok da sabh qissa, jeebh sohni naal sunaiye ji..
naal ajab bahaar de sheyer keh ke, Ranjhe Heer da mel milaiye ji..
yaaran naal majlisaan vich beh ke, maza Heer de ishq da paiye ji..

translation:

Some friends asked me this question, let's talk something new about the Love of Heer..
the complete legend of this fuel of Love, tell us with your tongue..
by saying couplets in a beautiful way, let's re-unite Ranjha and Heer..
sitting alongwith friends in the gatherings, let's enjoy the Love of Heer..

Couplet 7:

hukam mann ke sajjanaan pyaareyaan da, qissa ajab bahaar da jorheya ae..
fiqra jorh ke khoob darust keeta, nawa phull gulaab da torheya ae..
bahut jiu de vich tadbeer karke, Farhaad pahaarh nu phorheya ae..
sabha vinnh ke zeb bana ditta, jeha itar gulab da nichorheya ae..

translation:

following an order of friends, a beautiful legend has been written..
many sentences were re-corrected, like a new rose has been plucked..
after thinking a lot in the mind, as Farhad has smashed the mountain..
by piercing all created an ornament, as perfume is squeezed from the rose..
(Farhad = an architect from Istanbul, who has smashed a mountain for his beloved Shirin)
