Pritam - Sanam Marvi

Kaahga sab tann khaiyo, maara chun chun khayio maas

Scavenger, peck out the finest bits of my flesh

Doh naina matt khaiyo, jin ko piya milan ki aas

Just spare my eyes as they crave the sight of the beloved

Pritam matt pardes padhaaro

My dear don’t leave for distant lands

Rutt sawan ki sanwariya

The monsoon has just arrived, darling

Pritam matt pardes padhaaro

My dear don’t leave for distant lands

Koyel mor papiha bolay

The rainbird, songbird and peacocks are singing

Dhoom machay wich dhaandariya

It’s a festival here in the desert

Pritam matt pardes padhaaro

My dear don’t leave for distant lands

Kali ghatta ghatt rein andheri

The clouds are dark and leaden

Baras dehraway badalya

And when it rains, it will pour down heavily

Pritam matt pardes padhaaro

My dear don’t leave for distant lands

Saajan aisi preet na kariyo jaisi lambi khajoor

Darling love me not like the tall tree that bears dates

Dhoop lagay tau chaoon nahin, blagay phal door

That when the sun is scorching gives no shade, when one is hungry the fruit is

too far to reach
