I have been pierced by the arrow of love, what shall I do ? I can neither live, nor can I die. Listen ye to my ceaseless outpourings, I have peace neither by night, nor by day. I cannot do without my Beloved even for a moment. I have been pierced by the arrow of love, what shall I do ? The fire of separation is unceasing ! Let someone take care of my love. How can I be saved without seeing him? I have been pierced by the arrow of love, what shall I do ?
O Bullah, I am in dire trouble ! Let someone come to help me out. How shall I endure such torture ? I have been pierced by the arrow of love, what shall I do ? I can neither live, nor can I die.
