The Barren Depths

سَرٕ مٔنٛزؠ خرن زَن دِژٕم لَتھاہ

Sar maenz kharan zan ditsim lathaa

I was struck into the worldly lake as if by a donkey's kick

دٮؠوٕ کُنہِ وونٛت لَبہٕ ما

Dewi kuni wont labe maa

Hoping I might somehow find my footing in its depths

دِیٛتُم نہٕ بۄچھِ بُزُن منَس نہٕ پھاہ

Dyutum na bochi buzun manas na phaah

It neither fed my gnawing hunger nor offered warmth to my soul

ییٚتہِ برٛۄنٛہہ دِیٚتُم نہٕ تَتہِ کیٛاہ

Yeti bronh dyutum na tati kya

If I gained nothing here, what shall I ever find in the Hereafter?
