Tobah from Rivayat by Shahzad Ali Khan Qawal ft Shez Raja and Gwen Lafitte

Touba Ishq Toun Touba
(I renounce love! I am done with it)

Iss Ishq Di Reet Hai Jaag Toun Juda
Na Aay Rah Wekh Da Na Kura Wekh Da
(The traditions of love are odd
It comes wherever it wants, doesn’t
look at distance or homes)

Touba Ishq Toun Touba
(I renounce love! I am done with it)

Ishq Lai Mehal Tey Khuli Ek Sarr Aay
Na Aay Shah Wekh Da Na Ghada Wekh Da
(Love does not differentiate between
tents and palaces
For love, kings and beggars are all the
same)

Touba Ishq Toun Touba
(I renounce love! I am done with it)

Ain Ishq Jainan De Khyal Pia
Kheda Puldaiyan Puldaiyan Pulgaiyan
(For those whose minds are conquered
by love
They forget what happiness was)

Touba Ishq Toun Touba
(I renounce love! I am done with it)

Yaari Nal Ishq Na Laa Bethien
Aay Yar Bana Ky Lut Lein Da
Aay Ishq Awalrah Daku Aay
Bas Nain Mela Ky Lut Lein Da
(Do not let yourself be led astray by
love!
Love will befriend you then rob you
Love is a sly thief
It will lock eyes with you and rob you)

Touba Ishq Toun Touba
(I renounce love! I am done with it)

Kahin Soniyan Doub Ky Mar Dien Da
Kahin Saasiyan Thal Vich Sar Dien Da
Kadi Sootiyan Chad Ky Tur Janda
Kadi Aap Jaga Ky Lut Lein Da
(It drowned many Sohnis and killed
them
It burned many Sassis to death in the
Thal (desert)
It leaves some while they sleep
Some it wakes up just to rob them)

Touba Ishq Toun Touba
(I renounce love! I am done with it)

Aawien Apna Ap Ghawa Wien Na
Khuli Wanng Zulaikha Pawien Na
Kadi Lounda Aay Roug Wechorey Tey
Kadi Khol Bula Ky Lut Lein Da
(Do not lose yourself to love
Do not be like Zuleikha
Sometimes Love will make you pine for
those long gone
Sometimes it will call you near and rob
you)

Touba Ishq Toun Touba
(I renounce love! I am done with it)

Aawien Dil Dy Kaen Tey Jawien Na
Wekhien Fir Pechoon Pachtawien Na
Iss Ishq Da Doukha Kawien Na
Aay Bhes Wata Ky Lut Lein Da
(Do not give your heart away
If you do you will regret it
Do not fall for Love’s traps
It is an imposter, it will rob you)

Touba Ishq Toun Touba
(I renounce love! I am done with it)

Piyar Che Doukh Sukh Sehna Painda
Ankhien Dey Vich Ley Ky Athrou
Rawan Chey Baina Painda
(For love you need to bear joys and
sorrows
Carrying tears in your eyes, you need
to sit by paths your beloved might take)
