Mil Lao Sahelario
Come Meet Me, My Friends
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
Come close, dear friends; I leave for my husband's home.
मिल लओ सहेलड़ीयो मेरी राज गहेलड़ीयो, मैं साहुरिआं घर जाना ।
Your turn will come by God's will; I leave for that other home.
तुसां भी होसी अल्ल्हा भाणा, मैं साहुरिआं घर जाना ।
My parents gave one blouse, one scarf for my dowry.
अंमां बाबुल दाज जो दित्ता, इक चोली इक चुन्नी ।
Seeing what the others carried, my eyes filled with tears.
दाज तिन्हां दे वेख के हुन मैं, हंझू भर भर रुन्नी ।
Parting from friends—a crane lost from its flock.
इक विछोड़ा सईआं दा, जिवें डारों कूंज विछुन्नी ।
So many crooked pains pierce eyes and soul.
रंग बरंगे सूल अपुट्ठे, जांदे चीर नैन जी नूं ।
I take these sorrows with me; who will bear the next?
ऐथों दे दुक्ख नाल लिजावां, अगले सौंपां कीहनूं ।
Even the household elders cannot stay; each leaves in turn.
सस्स ननान रहन ना मिलदा, जाना वारो वारी ।
The finest are called away—whose humble servant am I?
चंग चंगेरे पकड़ मंगाए, मैं कीहदी पनेहारी ।
Virtue and gracious words make one dear to love.
जिस गुन पल्ले बोल सवल्ले, सोई शहु नूं प्यारी ।
Come close, dear friends; I leave for my husband's home.
मिल लओ सहेलड़ीयो मेरी राज गहेलड़ीयो, मैं साहुरिआं घर जाना ।
Your turn will come by God's will; I leave for that other home.
तुसां भी होसी अल्ल्हा भाणा, मैं साहुरिआं घर जाना ।
