Laam lai chal charkhe nu, moorkha ve
Set up and spin the spinning wheel, you fool
Lai chal vich koi mat fatoor hove
Set it up so no distraction or madness disturbs the mind
Takkla sidak-yaqeen di maal paa ke
Set the spindle with the cord of faith and conviction
Manka paa mann da je shaoor hove
Thread the bead of the heart if you possess true awareness
Ohde naam di ruyi khareed karke
Buy the cotton of the Beloved's name
Vatt pooniyan je raazi garoor hove
Roll the cotton slivers if you wish to surrender your pride
Ohdi yaad vich kattdi rahi hardam
Keep spinning constantly in the remembrance of the Beloved
Khaure kehdi vi tand manzoor hove
Who knows which thread of yours will be accepted by Him
Ve maahiya, tere vekhan nu, nu...
Oh my beloved, just to catch a glimpse of you...
Maahiya, tere vekhan nu chukk charkha gali de vich daahvaan
Oh beloved, just to see you, I lift my spinning wheel and set it down in the street
Ve maahiya, tere vekhan nu chukk charkha gali de vich daahvaan
Oh beloved, just to see you, I lift my spinning wheel and set it down in the street
Ve lokaan bhaane main kattdi, tand teriyan yaadan de paavaan
To the world, it seems I am spinning yarn, but I am weaving the threads of your memories
Ve lokaan bhaane main kattdi, tand teriyan yaadan de paavaan
To the world, it seems I am spinning yarn, but I am weaving the threads of your memories
Ve maahiya, tere vekhan nu chukk charkha gali de vich daahvaan
Oh beloved, just to see you, I lift my spinning wheel and set it down in the street
Ve maahiya, tere vekhan nu...
Oh beloved, just to see you...
Charkhe di ghookar de ohle
Behind the humming sound of the spinning wheel
Yaad teri da tumba bole
The stringed instrument of your memory plays
Charkhe di ghookar de ohle
Behind the humming sound of the spinning wheel
Yaad teri da tumba bole
The stringed instrument of your memory plays
Ve nimma-nimma geet chhed ke tand kattdi, hulaare paavaan
Striking a soft, gentle melody, I spin the thread and sway in ecstasy
Ve nimma-nimma geet chhed ke tand kattdi, hulaare paavaan
Striking a soft, gentle melody, I spin the thread and sway in ecstasy
Ve maahiya, tere vekhan nu chukk charkha gali de vich daahvaan
Oh beloved, just to see you, I lift my spinning wheel and set it down in the street
Ve maahiya, tere vekhan nu...
Oh beloved, just to see you...
Babul di saunh, jee nahiyo lagda
I swear by my father, my heart finds no peace
Daadha sek ishaq di agg da
The heat of the fire of love is intense
Babul di saunh, jee nahiyo lagda
I swear by my father, my heart finds no peace
Daadha sek ishaq di agg da
The heat of the fire of love is intense
Ve maahiya, mera jee karda, ghar chhadd ke malang ho jaavaan
Oh beloved, my heart longs to leave home and become a wandering ascetic
Ve maahiya, mera jee karda, ghar chhadd ke malang ho jaavaan
Oh beloved, my heart longs to leave home and become a wandering ascetic
Ve maahiya, tere vekhan nu chukk charkha gali de vich daahvaan
Oh beloved, just to see you, I lift my spinning wheel and set it down in the street
Ve maahiya, tere vekhan nu...
Oh beloved, just to see you...
Vasan nahi dende sahure peke
Neither my in-laws nor my parents' home let me live in peace
Vasan nahi dende
They don't let me live in peace
Vasan nahi dende, haan, sahure peke
They don't let me live in peace, yes, my in-laws and parents' home
Vasan nahi dende sahure peke
Neither my in-laws nor my parents' home let me live in peace
Mainu tere pain bhulekhe
I constantly catch fleeting glimpses of you everywhere
Vasan nahi dende sahure peke
Neither my in-laws nor my parents' home let me live in peace
Mainu tere pain bhulekhe
I constantly catch fleeting glimpses of you everywhere
Hun main dass maahiya, tere baajhon kidhar nu jaavaan
Now you tell me beloved, where else can I go without you?
Ve hun main dass maahiya, tere baajhon kidhar nu jaavaan
Now you tell me beloved, where else can I go without you?
Ve maahiya, tere vekhan nu chukk charkha gali de vich daahvaan
Oh beloved, just to see you, I lift my spinning wheel and set it down in the street
Ve lokaan bhaane main kattdi, tand teriyan yaadan de paavaan
To the world, it seems I am spinning yarn, but I am weaving the threads of your memories
Ve maahiya, tere vekhan nu chukk charkha gali de vich daahvaan
Oh beloved, just to see you, I lift my spinning wheel and set it down in the street
Ve maahiya, tere vekhan nu...
Oh beloved, just to see you...
