Abyat-e-Bahoo


Translation

I am unattractive my beloved is beautiful how will I be approved by him Hoo

He would not enter my forecourt even hundreds of thousands times I beg him Hoo

I am unattractive neither I possess wealth my beloved how could I glee Hoo

Grief I shall have All the while ‘Bahoo’ I will sob to death for thee Hoo

Commentary by M. A. Khan

My deeds are unappealing and my beloved Rasool Allah is excellent in all aspects how will I be able to please his honour. I beg him and make all forms of pleas for him to come in my inner self. I am unattractive and don’t have wealth of deeds how will I be able to satisfy him. I will die with this grief of not been able to satisfy my beloved Rasool Allah.
