PAAR LE JA SAJNA

⸻

(1) PROLOGUE – The Waiting Soul)

Raat de kaale paani vich,
Ik awaaz dubi hoyi ae,
Nadiyaan takdi, chand vi rove,
Ik rooh adhuri hoyi ae.

Kise ne naam lita,
Kise ne dua maangi,
Sohni da pyar si,
Par duniya ne laanghi.

(Soft female hum: “Paar le ja sajna…”)

⸻

(2) THE MEETING – When Love Was Born)

Mitti di khushboo, barsaat da mausam,
Do akhiyan mileyaan, hoya pehla kasam.
Ve mahiya, tu rooh da sukh,
Main tan mitti, tu mera mukh.

Hass ke keha, “jeena tere sang,”
Rabb ne likha, “marnge sang.”
Hath phadeya, dil sambhal na paaya,
Duniya roki, par ishq na ghabraya.

Chorus (1)
Paar le ja sajna, mainu paar le ja,
Eh dariya roke, mainu maar le ja.
Jithe tu, othe meri jaan,
Main tere naal, har janam di shaan.

⸻

(3) SEPARATION – The River Between)

Sohni rove, neend na aaye,
Har raat da dariya bulaaye.
Kach di handi, sapne di kashti,
Ik awaaz – “aaja sohni, raat vi masti.”

Chhup ke nikal gayi ghar ton,
Chand vi dekhe, hawa vi rokke,
Paer thakke, dil dhadke,
Dariya de kinare sohni thamme.

Bridge (slow, emotional):
Main likh ke chhadd aayi si,
Tere naam da patta,
Je doob gayi main,
Rabb sambhal lae data.

Chorus (2)
Paar le ja sajna, mainu paar le ja,
Eh hawa bole, mainu rok na pa.
Tu us paar, main is paar,
Dil da dariya, hoya bekaar.

(4) THE CROSSING – The Last Night)

Toofan utheya, asmaan garje,
Mitti di handi hathon sarje.
Paani chhaliya, kashti tut gayi,
Tere naam di awaaz phir lut gayi.

Sohni cheekhdi – “Mahiya sun!”
Leheran boli – “sab kuch dhun.”
Ik pal da pyar, sada da dard,
Ik saans di qeemat, amar ban gayi sard.

Slow vocal cry:
“Paar le ja sajna… mainu le ja…”
“Na chhadd ve mainu… na chhadd ve…”

(Instrumental – sarangi, tabla, fading vocals)

(5) EPILOGUE – Reunion Beyond Life)

Sadi rooh uda gayi, dariya paar,
Mitti vi muskaye, hoya sansaar.
Sohni Mahiwal, jod hoye ik,
Ishq da rang, sada da likh.

Aj vi raatan nu, leheran sunai,
Kise sohni di cheekh aayi.
Par je dhyan naal sun lae dil,
Oh kehndi ae —
“Main mil gayi, ohde naal… akheer paar.”

[Final Chorus – Sufi Choir ending]
Paar le ja sajna, paar le ja,
Rabb de shehar, mainu lae ja.
Jithe tu, othe main vi,
Sadi rooh, sadi kahani.

(Music fades, wind and river sounds… silence.)
