The name of this piece literally evokes the song (khānī) of a starling (sār); it may also be a reference to the saint (Sārū Khān) who composed it. Here, Ostad accompanies the melody with a supplication:

Praise to You, benevolent and glorious Lord
You who knows all that is hidden and revealed
My Creator, my Refuge, my Support
It is You that I implore, in hardship and in fortune
No matter how great my failings, Your forgiveness is greater still
I have succumbed to temptation, now I am plagued by remorse
O God, hear my plea
For You know how miserable and destitute I am
