Punjabi Border Ballads/Folklore Translations

saade haal nu koi na jaane

Gall nu samjhe kehra,

Saade vehre chaanan karda

vaari vaari paande jaiye

Ik dooje Vall phera

dowein paase lagg jaavega

khushaali da dera

din mushkil de tal jaavange

Kinnan laaya khauf ka pehra

saade aase passe

darya saade kol ne vaggde

Phiriye vaang pyaase

Khas Gaye saathon haase
