The Broken Boat

یِیرٕوُنہٕ وژھاس چیٖروٕنہِ ناوے

Yeerwini wotshaas cheerwini naaway

I set sail upon drifting waters in a fragile, broken boat

آولٕنؠ ووٚلُس کِتھہٕ لگہِٕ بَٹھے

Aawliny wolus kitha lagi bathey

Caught in a whirlpool, how shall I ever reach the shore?

نابدھ ژھٕنیٛام سٕتھرٕ کٲنٛز پاوَے

Naabad tshinyoom sithri kaanz paaway

I dissolved fine crystal sugar into a sour brew

میٹھیٛا کٲنٛز کِنہٕ نابد ٹیٚٹھے

Meethyaa kaanz kine naabad tethey

Will the brew turn sweet, or will the sugar itself turn bitter?
