Chhalla vas nahi oo mere
Chhalla vas meri maan de
Ghallegi tan jange
Ve gall sun chhallia
Khaure keeta kis is ‘te toona
The ring, it heeds me not
The ring, it heeds only my mother
It will leave if she wishes
Listen to me, my darling
I don’t know who cast this spell
Chhalla bambi da paani
Kithhey veh gaye ne jaani
Asan khabar ko na jaani
Ve gall sun chhallia
Teri beri ik uggia ey kanda
The ring, water deep in the well
Who knows where it seeped away
I have no news from it
Listen to me, my darling
On your vine grows a thorn
Chhalla gut ik lammi
Asan supne chummi
Hoi neeyat si anni
Asan dil di si manni
Ve gall sun chhallia
Hun de lai jehrhi deni ey sazaa
The ring, a long braid
I kissed in a dream
I was blinded by desire
But I listened to my heart
Listen to me, my darling
Then punish me as you will
Chhalla boharh ik ‘kalla
Unhe farhia ey palla
Thalle dharat utte Allah
Ve gall sun chhallia
Khaure jandian kinni dunghian jarhan
Es gall da os khud nu nahi pata
The ring, a lone banyan
Where it sprouted it held fast
To the Earth below and God above
Listen to me, my darling
How deep his roots run
He himself does not know
Chhalla ambian kachian
Mattan de koi sachian
Laiey lekhe jo bachian
Terian merian gharian
Ve gall sun chhallia
Langh javan ain na umran khaali
The ring, unripe mangoes
Somebody give me some true advice
Let’s think of what’s left
Of your time and mine
Listen to me, my darling
Lest our lives should go to waste
