Fajreen wele uth savele,
Aan karan mazdooree hoo.
Aan karan mazdooree hoo.
Kaanvaan illaan hiksee
gallaan,
Treejee ralee chandooree hoo.
Treejee ralee chandooree hoo.
Maaran cheekhaan karan
mushaqqat,
Put put kadh angooree hoo.
Put put kadh angooree hoo.
Saaree umar pitendiaan
guzree,
Kadee na paeeaa pooree hoo.
Kadee na paeeaa pooree hoo.

They rise early; they get to their
work fast:
Like crows and vultures they create
a racket-
Reading their sermons like the mimicking chandoor.*
Reading their sermons like the mimicking chandoor.*
They spend their lives like this-
Talking gibberish, shooting prayers into the air
Talking gibberish, shooting prayers into the air
And distorting the message of the
scriptures-
Because their hearts are never moved by God’s love.

(Chandoor or chandol is a mimicking bird. It imitates sounds, including spoken words – obviously without knowing their meaning, in much the same manner as priests recite and quote the words of Saints without realizing their underlying message)
