0. Ho lāl merī pat rakhiyo balā jhūle lālan. (2) (Āṛāūī) (Refrain) Sindaṛī dā, sehvan dā; sakhi shāh bāz qalandar. Damā dam mast qalandar, Alī dam dam de andar. Damā dam mast qalandar, Alī dā pehala nambar. O lāl merī, ho lāl merī. O red-robed one (or mother's beloved son) may I always have your benign protection, O cradle-swinging Lord. Master, friend and sire of Sindh & Servan, the God-intoxicated saint; Ali in every breath of mine & no.1, glory be unto thee. 1. Chār charāg tere, barana hameshā. (3) Panjvā mai` bāran, āyī balā jhūle lālan; ho panjva me` bāran. O panjvā mai` bāran, āyī balā jhūle lālan. (Refrain) Your shrine is always lighted with four lamps; Here I come to light a fifth lamp in your honor. 2. Hind Sind (ghanan ghanan) pīrā terī naubat bāje. (3) Nāl baje ghaṛiyāl balā jhūle lālan, ho nāl baje. O nāl baje ghaṛiyāl balā jhūle lālan. (Refrain) Let your heroic name ring out in Hind & Sindh (gongs bell); Let the people ring the gong loud for your glory day & night. 3. Har dam pīra terī khair (qhair) hove. (3) Nām-e-alī beṛā pār, lagā jhūle lālan; ho nām-e-ali. O nām-e-alī beṛā, pār lagā jhūle lālan. (Refrain) May you prevail every-time & everywhere; I pray for your well-being (?). In Ali's name, I pray to you to take my boat safely across (the river of life). 4. Sindaṛī dā, sehvan dā; sakhi shāh bāz qalandar. Damā dam mast qalandar, Alī dam dam de andar. Damā dam mast qalandar, Alī dā pehala nambar. (both, 3) .
