The Tange Wala's Prayer

The Tonga Driver’s Prayer The Tonga driver prays for all, Be it Lahore or the lands of Jhang, his call. Toiling away, hoping dreams will bloom, Bringing sweets for my Raanjhas through the gloom. The difficult time is good, if passed with a smile, The Tonga driver prays for all. A blessing for the groom, listen, bride in the carriage, Wherever you go, keep your parents' honor your passage. May the groom be a traveler, or a wandering soul, The Tonga driver prays for all. You never tire, oh carriage, coming and going, Separating some, while others you are reuniting. Like me, you witness the changing colors of men, The Tonga driver prays for all. When will your poor soul eat till the heart is content? Oh my Lord, tell me when that day is meant. When the hand of hardship will no longer hold, The Tonga driver prays for all.
