Dil jo Dost - The Sketches - Saanjhi (Unplugged)

Dil jo dost is Sasui lamenting to her friends about how her lover is being taken away.
Bhittai expresses the intensity of her pain narrating how people are fast asleep and Sasui is still awake with a fire constantly burning in her chest. He emphasizes on how tasteless the whole city of bhambore becomes to Sasui when punhu is being taken away. The song is a lament, a cry of separation and a lover's helplessness as she's stuck between polar opposite worlds. (Press CC for transcript)

Transcribed

I decorate my bed only for you
No one else I find worth it
I have become indifferent to all of bhambore
since my beloved is gone

Look mother, my beloved, a friend to my heart is being taken away

A friend to my heart is being taken away.
Oh how cruel they have been to me!

A whole caravan of camels is Las (Balochistan)
When I try to go towards them, my friends hold me back, I'm stuck between two opposite poles

All the people are fast asleep
It's only vulnerable sasui who has constant fire burning in her heart

Friends, Latif says,

"My eyes know no sleep, they are too familiar with the wait."
