The Seasons of Toil

ہارس شرٛاونس یُس وُچھِ بورو

Haaras Shrawanas yus wuchi booro

He who bears the heavy burden of toil through summer and the monsoons

تس پۄہس تہٕ ماگس وُشُن واو

Tas Pohas te Maagas wushun waaw

Shall be graced by warm winds through the bitter winter months

شیٖنس تہٕ واوَس یُس نَنہٕ وورو

Sheenas te waawas yus nane wooro

But he who wanders bare and unprepared through the snow and storms

تس وَدنس تہٕ رِونس دۄہَے کرٛاو

Tas wadnas te riwanas dohay kraaw

Shall reap a daily harvest of weeping and wails

ہردٕنہِ رٮؠتہٕ یَس وۄپسہِ وورو

Hardini reati yas wopasi wooro

For he who remains famished even in the abundant month of autumn

تس کُس ہیٚیہِ منٛز مردَن ناو

Tas kus heyi manz mardan naaw

Who shall ever count his name among worthy men?
