Nazman Di Paalki Lyrics English Translation – Satinder Sartaaj

Asi Dil Da Sunaiye Dasso Haal Ki!
How shall I tell the tale of my heart?

Chukki Harfan Ne Nazman Di Paalki; Ishke De Pind Chon,
The words have lifted the Palanquin of Poems from the village of Love.

Paani Vaariya, Suni Pyaariya,
Listen, beloved; auspicious water is offered as a custom of your arrival!

Nainan Ne Raahan Da Karza Utaariya.
My eyes repaid their debt to the waiting roads by beholding you.

Jadon Chhirya Muhabbatan Da Geet Ji!
When the song of love began to play,

Varhi Baddalan Chon Rajj-Rajj Preet Ji;
The love rained from the clouds of reminiscence;

Dhupp Gori Bhij Gayi,
Fair sunlight itself was drenched,

Rahi Sangdi, Ohle Mangdi,
Growing shy and seeking a veil to hide behind;

Chunni Ditti Ambran Gulaabi Rang Di.
The heavens gifted her a rose-tinted scarf!

Asi Saddya Ni Yaadan De Shareek Nu!
I never summoned the companion of memories,

Taan Vi Pahunch Gaya Laazmi Tareek Nu;
Yet he arrived unfailingly, right on time.

Chete Aaye Naal Ji!
Remembrances came along with him;

Gallan Kholiyan Aan, Sharaaban Dolhiyan,
Conversations unfolded, goblets overflowed,

Chandre Khyaal Tere Paun Boliyan.
& restless thoughts began singing about you!!

Ajj Saddhran Ne Mukhra Chhupa Liya!
Today, my longings hid their faces,

Uhnan Pichhle Vihre Ch Bah Ke Gaa Liya; Gaana Sartaaj Da!
Sitting in the backyard & indulged in singing of a Sartaaj’s song.

Kandh Kachh Di, Kinjh Bachdi,
How could a wall of glass remain unbroken?

Reejh Baahon Phar Agge Ho-Ho Nachdi.
Desire seized me by the arm & danced ahead in ecstasy.

Saadi Allhran Di Raat Ve Kuariya!
O bachelor star, this is the night of youthful hearts;

Bahuta Lishkin Na Ambran Te Taariya; Gall Bare Raaz Di!
Shine not too brightly across the sky. It is a matter wrapped in mystery;

Puchhin Rabb Nu, Eh Sababb Nu,
Ask the Creator, ask the reason behind it:

Ese Traan Hunda Ki Pyaar Sabh Nu!
Does love arrive this way for everyone,
