ve main tidke ghade daa pani
kal tak nahi rahna
ve main tidke ghade daa pani
kal tak nahi rahna
is pani de kan
taryaye tere de hotha vangu
o mere thande ghut diya mitra
kahde jo kuch kehna
ve main tidke ghade daa pani
kal tk nahi rahna
aaj daa pani ki kan lave
kal di tere daa karja
aaj daa pani ki kan lave
kal di tere daa karja
na pani ne kanni bajna
na palle vich rahna
ve main tidke ghade daa pani
kal tak nahi rahana
vekh ke teri tre vargi
is paani di majburi
vekh ke teri tre vargi
is paani di majburi
naa is teri tarah sang turna
na sethe bahna
main tidke ghade daa pani
kal tak nahi rahna
aaj de pinde panni liske
tere de moti barga
aaj de pinde panni liske
tere de moti barga
par aaj de pinde nalu
kal ne chipar wangu naina
ve main tidke ghade daa pani
kal tak nahi rahna
ve main tidke ghade daa pani
kal tak nahi rahna

raat kudi di jholi baao
chitta chand gari daa khopa
naal sitare muth chhuare
raat kudi di jholi baao
piid kudi di jholi baao
dil da jakham na rail se uthao
naal chhuare hanju khare
piid kudi di jholi baao
purab ne panghoda dhaya
jadi pusti ek panghoda
suraj pe aaradhay kukher
hotha ne ek panghoda dhaya
jadi pusti ek panghoda
geet piya pidandi kokhe
purab nee panghoda dhaya
jadi pusti ek panghoda
suraj pe aaradhay kukher
hotha ne ek panghoda dhaya
jadi pusti ek panghoda
geet piya pidandi kokhe
raat kuddi dii jholi baao
chitta chand gari daa khopa
naal sitare muth chhuare
ambar baidh subaitd sunidha
raat kudi di naadi tove
peed kudi di naadi tove
arz kare takhtizi dhaai
raat kade bi banjn naa hove
piid kade bi baanjh naa hove
raat kuddi dii jholi baao
chitta chand gari daa khopa
naal sitare muth chhuare
raat kudi di jholi baao
piid kudi di jholi baao

I am the water in a cracked pitcher,
I will not remain until tomorrow.
The drops of this water,
like the thirst of your lips,
oh my friend, the cool draught,
say what you must.
I am the water in a cracked pitcher,
I will not remain until tomorrow.

What will today's water bring?
The debt of your tomorrow.
What will today's water bring?
The debt of your tomorrow.
Neither will the water ring in your ears,
nor will it remain in your grasp.
I am the water in a cracked pitcher,
I will not remain until tomorrow.

Seeing your thirst,
the water's helplessness,
seeing your thirst,
the water's helplessness,
it will not walk with you,
nor sit with you.
I am the water in a cracked pitcher,
I will not remain until tomorrow.

Today's water gleams on the body,
like a pearl of thirst,
Today's water gleams on the body,
like a pearl of thirst,
but from today's body,
tomorrow is like a chipped nail.
I am the water in a cracked pitcher,
I will not remain until tomorrow.
I am the water in a cracked pitcher,
I will not remain until tomorrow.

Night, in a maiden's lap,
a white moon, a poor man's turban.
Stars, a handful of dates.
Night, in a maiden's lap.
Pain, in a maiden's lap.
Do not lift the heart's wound from the train,
with salty tears of dates.
Pain, in a maiden's lap.

The East has swayed a cradle,
when the child confirmed a cradle.
The sun, the worship in the womb,
lips have swayed a cradle.
When the child confirmed a cradle,
the song drinks the pain of the womb.
The East has swayed a cradle,
when the child confirmed a cradle.
The sun, the worship in the womb,
lips have swayed a cradle.
When the child confirmed a cradle,
the song drinks the pain of the womb.
Night, in a maiden's lap,
a white moon, a poor man's turban.
Stars, a handful of dates.

The sky, the physician, listened,
night reads the maiden's pulse.
Pain reads the maiden's pulse.
The board of supplication,
may the night never be barren.
May pain never be barren.
Night, in a maiden's lap,
a white moon, a poor man's turban.
Stars, a handful of dates.
Night, in a maiden's lap.
Pain, in a maiden's lap.
