Sohna Te Methon Door Gaya Ae, Hoke Sajan Majboor Gaya Ae
Powerlessness had driven my dear sweetheart away from me.

Akhiyan De Vaste Khuhsiyan Hovan, Hoke Hijr Wich Choor Gaya Ae
He had broken down in tears and departed to delight our eyes.
Sohna Paya Pardes Katenda, Sajjna Nu Dooron-Dooron Vehnda
The beautiful one has been living hopelessly in a strange land and watches his sweetheart from afar.

Sadi Te Sari Sunda Rahe Par Apni Peed Nai Vehnda
He hears everything I say but never expresses his sentiments.

Sohna Te Suit Bhalenda Ae Par Apni Peed Nai Vehnda
He may be dressed well, yet he ignores his inner troubles.

Akhan De Vaste Bheje Kajjal Na Moyi Doori Vehnda Ae
He sent ‘Kajol’ from abroad for me, yet he is blind to the gap between us.

Sohna Bhajenda Sanu Kamaiyan, Sohna Manave Eid-An Paraiyan
My beautiful sweetheart works and sends me money. My lovely sweetheart celebrates foreign festivals.

Aja Sohneya Galiyan Sunjhiyan, Sanu Qabool Ve Teri Ladaiyan
Come home, dear; my streets are lonely without you. Even if you argued with me, I would accept it.

Ronde Baddal Meehn Varsainde, Dadha Tainu Yaad Karende
Even the clouds are crying in the form of rain because they miss you so much.

Es Mahine Tu Aavaan’na Roz Apne Dil Nu Dasende
They lie to their hearts when they say you’ll return this month.

Sohneya Vatna Nu Mudke Aavan, Do Dihari Mukh Tan Dikhavan
Oh, my lovely darling, please return home and give me a little glimpse of your face.

Roz Takande Raah Teri,
Looking at the roadways, I’ve been waiting for you.
