Mehnat Chaddni Ni Lyrics English Translation – Satinder Sartaaj

Chhadd Dittiyan Zarban-Taqseeman Chhaddiya Manfi-Jod;
I have left the multiplications & divisions; abandon gains & losses, but I will,

Ki Mehnat Chhaddni Ni!
never stop doing the hard work!

Bhawein Kuchh Na Mile Te Bhawein Mil Jaaye Lakh-Karor;
Whether nothing comes of it, or whether fortunes worth millions arrive;

Ki Mehnat Chhaddni Ni!
I will never stop doing the hard work!

Main Suniya Ki Palla Bhaara Rahe Hamesha Sach Da, Baaki Tu Jaane!
I have heard that truth always outweighs everything. The rest is for you to decide.

Aapan Siraj-Siraj Ke Tainu Dena Tohfa Kach Da, Baaki Tu Jaane
We keep creating and offering you gifts of Glass; The rest is for you to decide.

Teri Marzi Saambh Ke Rakh Lai, Teri Marzi Tod
Keep them carefully or break them, as you wish;

Ki Mehnat Chhaddni Ni!
I will never stop doing the hard work!

Tu Apne Kar Farz Mukammal Baaki Aggon Saari;
You complete your duties in full.

Marzi Maalak Di!
All that lies ahead is the Master’s will!

Apni Thaan Tu Poora Reh Par Kad Auni Ae Vaari;
Stand complete in your own place,

Marzi Maalak Di
But when your turn arrives, that too is the Master’s will!

Arak Amulle Beshakk Maalak Raah Te Devan Rorh;
Even if priceless essences are scattered on the path;

Ki Mehnat Chhaddni Ni!
I will never stop doing the hard work!

Edaan Aksar Hunda Hi Ae, Tu Eh Gall Mann Ke Challi,
This often happens, accept it & walk on;

Rasta Saukha Nahin!
The road is not easy!

Pehli, Dooji, Teeji Vaari Ohi Duaara Malli, Rasta Saukha Nahin!
First time, second time, third time; Keep returning to the same doorway. The road is not easy.

Ki Hoya Je Thakkiyan Nu Vi Dar Ton Ditta Mod;
What if even the weary are turned away at the threshold?

Ki Mehnat Chhaddni Ni !
I will never stop doing the hard work!

Sidq Sirrarr Naal Paalan Waale Yaari Laaun Aaraam Naal,
Those who nurture the faith and perseverance,

Gall Jachdi Ni!
Do not suit a life of comfort!

Tadke Uth Ke Dauran Waale Sair Karan Je Shaam Naal,
And those who rise at dawn to run, do not stroll leisurely in the evenings!

Gall Jachdi Ni !
It does not suit them …

Sek Deve Je Talkh Duphehra, Chhaan Vi De Dau Bohar;
If the harsh afternoon gives you heat, the banyan will also give you shade.

Ki Mehnat Chhaddni Ni !
So never stop doing the hard work!

Main Suniya Ki Uddam Baare Badiyan Ne Tahreeran,
I have heard many writings speak of enterprise & endeavours;

Suni Buzurgan Ton!
Listen to the elders!

Aapas Vich Ki Gall Karan Taqdeeran Te Tadbeeraan,
What destiny & planning say to one another,

Suni Buzurgan Ton!
Listen to the elders.

Jekar Kise Kitaab Ch Labhiya Rakh Lain Warq Maror ;
If you find it written in any book, fold that page & keep it close;

Ki Mehnat Chhaddni Ni!
To remember, never stop doing the hard work!

Gall Taan Waise Jaayaz Nahin Par Azlon Hi Chaldi Aayi Ae,
The matter may not seem fair, but it has gone on since eternity!

Hun Ki Kariye !
What can we do?

Kaame Ate Karindeyan De Lekhan Vich Hi Aukhyaai Ae, Hun Ki Kariye!
Hardship is written mostly in the fate of workers & labourers; What can we do?

Mehnat-Kash Lokan Nu Lekin Rehndi Nahin Koi Thor;
Yet for those who labour sincerely, there is never any real lack!

Ki Mehnat Chhaddni Ni!
So never stop doing the hard work!

Eh Zindagi Da Sabak Bana Lai Te Fitrat Da Hissa,
Make this the lesson of your life, A part of your very nature,

Ehi Kaam Auna!
This alone will serve you!

Sabar-Shukar De Lafzan De Vich Likh Lai Saara Qissa,
Write the whole story in the words of patience & gratitude,

Ehi Kaam Auna !
This alone will serve you!

Eh Gall Likh Ke Rakh Sartaaja Sada Hi Paini Lor; Ki Mehnat Chhaddni Ni !
Write this down, O Sartaaj & keep it. You will always need it: that I will never stop doing the hard work!
