Akh Lai Mein Jadon Di Tere by NUSRAT FATEH ALI KHAN

Translation:

Maye Ni Maye, 
Main Ek Shikra Yaar Banaya, 
//mother hey mother
//i befriended a hawk

ohde Sir De Kalgi, Te pairi Jhanjhar, 
te O Chog Chuginda Aaya,
//A plume on his head, n bells on his feet
//he came pecking 4 grain

Ek ohde Roop Dee Dhup Teekheri, 
te Dooja Mehka Da Tirhaya, 
//one, his beauty was as sharp as perfumes
//n 2nd, was thirsty fragrance

Teeja ohda Rang Gulabi, 
ho Kise Gori Maa Da Jaya,
//3rd his color was d color of rose
//born from a fair mother

Ishqe Da Ek Palang Nawari, 
ve Assan Channania vich daya, 
Tann Di Chaaddar Ho Gayi Maili, 
Os Pair Ja Palgi Paya, 
//i laid a bed of love
//in the moonlight
//my body sheet was stained 
//d instant he laid his foot on my bed!

Ni ohde chet di aathan 
ate zulfee saavan chaaya 
hothaa de vich kahte da 
koi dihoon chadne te aaya
//his eyes were an evenning in spring
//his hair a dark cloud
//his lips, a rising autumn dawn

Dukkhan mere Naina De Koye, 
Te vich Harh Hanjua Da Aaya, 
Sari Raat gayi vich socha, 
Us A Ki zulm Kamaaya, 
//corners of my eyes hurt
//n a flood of tears engulfed me
//all night went thinking
//what he did this 2 me 

Bolla de vich paun pure di
ni o koilaan da hamsaaya 
chitte dand jyon dhaano bagla
tori maar udaaya 
//his words had eastern breeze blowing
//like d sound of a blackbird (nightingale)
//his smile was d whiteness of a crane in d rice field
//taking flight at d clap of a hand

Subha Savere Laini Vattna, 
ve Assa Mal Mal os Navaya, 
Dehi de vicho Niklan Chin gaa, 
te saada Haath Gaya kumlaya, 
//early in d morning, with vattna (a paste used to cleansing skin)
//i scrubbed n bathed my body
//bt embers kept bursting out
//n my hands flagged
Choori Kuttta Ta O Khanda Naahi, 
ve Assa Dil Da Maas Khwaya, 
Ek Udaari Aisi Maari, 
O Mud Vatnee Na Aaya, 
//prepared choorma bt he doesnt eat
//i gave him the flesh of m heart
//he took such a takeoff
//never came back home
maaye ni...ni mai ik shikra yaar banaya
