Paa vi baithi aan, gawa vi baithi aan

I sit waiting for you both when I gain and lose

Tu taan turr gaya main taan vi baithi aan

Even after you left, I still sit and wait for you

Do akhar tere ve kidhe naale

Who are your initials next to?

Tattoo gutt te bana vi baithi aan

Even with your tattoo on my wrist, I sit and wait for you

Raatan da ki ae langaundi rehndi ae

Forget about the nights, they pass by

Ve deeve baal ke bujhaundi rehni ae

I always light lamps for you

Teri mang de ve kaale rang de

Because of your preference for black

Ve paune taan ki main

I’ve don’t wear it anymore

Siwaundi rehni ae

But I keep stitching them

Ve saare suit’an ch haaye teri khushbu

All my suits have your sweet fragrance

Mehak ni gayi, jala vi baithi aan

Your smell hasn’t left, even after burning them

‍

Paa vi baithi aan, gawa vi baithi aan

I sit waiting for you both when I gain and lose

Tu taan turr gaya main taan vi baithi aan

Even after you left, I still sit and wait for you

Ohde tarle main saare kar laye

I fulfilled their every request

Russ vi layi, mana vi baithi aan

I was upset, but always made-up

Mere wangran zaleel na hove

I hope you don’t become humiliated like me

Zakham de gaya ve heal na hove

You gave me a wound that won’t heal

Tere layi kotiyan je bunn’di aan taan

The sweaters that I made for you

Ve sui chubh jaye te feel na hove

If the needle pierced me, I wouldn’t feel it

Hawa de warga, Chenab de warga

Like the wind, like Chenab (river)

Tu vaggda rahe, main raah vi baithi aan

You continue to flow, but I’m waiting for you on the path

‍

Paa vi baithi aan, gawa vi baithi aan

I sit waiting for you both when I gain and lose

Tu taan turr gaya main taan vi baithi aan

Even after you left, I still sit and wait for you

Ohde tarle main saare kar laye

I fulfilled their every request

Russ vi layi, mana vi baithi aan

I was upset, but always made-up

Ve tu taan ho gaya ae, ve paran ton paran

Boy, you’re now far from me

Udaari la gaya ae main paran ton daran

You’ve flown away from me, and I fear your win

Ve tere muhre aa main dairy karaan

I fill my diary about you

Tu kivein chhaddeya main shayari karaan

I write poems about how you left me

Nibha ke farzan banavan tarzaam (rhymes)

I continue to do my duty as a translator 

Likh vi leya te ga vi baithi aan

I’ve written about it and sung about it

‍

Paa vi baithi aan, gawa vi baithi aan

I sit waiting for you both when I gain and lose

Tu taan turr gaya main taan vi baithi aan

Even after you left, I still sit and wait for you

Ohde tarle main saare kar laye

I fulfilled their every request

Russ vi layi, mana vi baithi aan

I was upset, but always made-up
