Humans are not like that...
This song captures the reality in the way most humans have expectations of God, perhaps not all are able to say it
Rabba sachiya, toon tay akhia see
My true Lord, you had said
Ja oye bandiya jug da shah ain tu
“Go man, you are master of the world
Saadian nemataan terian daulataan nenh
My bounties on earth are your treasure
Saada naib tay alijah ain tu
You are the viceroy of your Creator”
Ais laaray teh torr kudh puchia eh
After baiting me with these promises
Kee ais nimanay teh beetiyaan nenh
Countless years have passed by
Kaddi saar we layee o rab saiyaan
My Lord, did you ever enquire what transpired with your man
Terey shah naal jugh kee kitiyan nenh
What your man has suffered in this world?
Kithay dhons police sarkar dee eh
Somewhere, those in power and with the means intimidate, harass and terrorize
Kithay dhandhli maal patwaar di eh
Elsewhere, draft and bribery are rampant
Ainj hadaan wich kalpay jaan meri
My soul is shaken down to my bone
Jeevain phahee ich koonj kurlaundi eh
Just like a bird flutters when caught in a trap
Changa shah banayaee rab saiyaan
You made a fine king indeed, my sweet lord
Paulay khaandayaan waar na aundi eh
All I have gotten are endless beatings
Mainu shahi naeen chaidi rab meray
I don’t want kingship, my Lord
Mein tay izzat da tukkar mangna haan
All I need is a morsel of respect
Meinu taang naeen mehlaan maraiaan di
I have no desire to live in palaces
Mein tay jeevain di nukkar mangnaa haan
I just want a small nook to live my life
Meri mannain tay tairian main mannan
If you agree with me, I will agree with you
Teri sohn jay ik wi gal moran
I won’t decline anything no matter how unreasonable
Jey ay sauda nai pujda tain rabba
If you don’t like this deal, God!
Fayr main jawan teh rab koi hor loraan
Then I will go and seek for myself another god
Mori araj suno, dastagir pir
O my lord, pay heed to my appeal
