Please tell the dear friend - the Lord - the plight of his disciples.
thudhh bin rog rajaaeeaa dhaa oudtan naag nivaasaa dhae hehinaa

Our water pitchers are like stakes of torture and our cups have
edges like daggers. Your neglect is like the suffering of animals
at the hands of butchers.
yaararrae dhaa saanoo(n) saathhar cha(n)gaa bhat(h) khaerriaa

Our Beloved Lord's straw bed is more pleasing to us than living
