Tere naam ton roz kabootaran nu,
Saying your name to the pigeons everyday (In the hope that they will return a message from her lover )
Pawan bhor ke ann diyan burkiyan main,
I feed them bread crumbs
Khabran dasse je teriyan daak wala,
If the postman delivers some news about you
Dewan kanna chon lah ke murkiyan main.
I give him my ear rings as a sign of gratitude
Tere jann magron guttan gundiyan na,
I didn’t braid my hair upon your departure,
Gundiyan na main guttan gundiyan na
Didn’t braid my hair upon your departure
Na hi vartiyan bindiyan surkhiyan main,(x3)
Nor did I use any make up (x3)
Gehne kapde rehn mere mass utte,
Jewlery and clothes will always remain on my skin
Roohan nikal na dehi vichon nangiyan ne,
I hope the soul doesn’t leave my body as it is bare
Aasan naina ne halle tak rakhiyan ne,
Eyes still have the hope in them
Chetti baud ve jindan hathon langiyan ne
Come back soon, my life is slipping away from my hand
Tere baad kisse na meri baat suni,
After you, nobody listened to what I had to say
Na meri baat suni na meri baat suni
Nobody listened, nobody listened
Hunn maut de wal nu turr payian main,(x3)
I have started towards my death now (x3)
Tutt jaavna ant nu taar payi,
I am on the verge of breaking, I sent a telegram
Naiyo wajjna fer sarangiyan ne,
Musical instruments won’t play after that
Pedan uthna laggiyan mehfilan chon,
I will have to get up in the middle parties
Naiyo rokna sathiyan sakhiyan ne,
Even the loved ones won’t be able to stop me
Surre sada na kacheyan wich rehne,
Brave men won’t always remain in shadows
Na rehne bayi na rehne
Won’t remain, won’t remain
Kille tappne naal bulandiyan de,(x3)
They will achieve new heights (x3)
