Daachi Waaliya

Bulle Shaah Zehr Vekh Ke Peeta Te Ki Peeta,
Bulleh Shah,
what's the point of taking poison, yet fearing its ingredients?
Ishq Soch Ke Keeta Te Ki Keeta,
What's the point of falling in love, yet fearing its consequences?
Ho Dil De Ke, O Dil De Ke,
If you give your heart...
Ho Dil De Ke Dil Lain Di Aas Rakhi,
If you give your heart in the hope that your love may be returned.
Ve Bulleya Pyaar Eho Jiha Kita Te Ki Kita,
What's the point then, Bulleh Shah, of giving your heart at all?

Sanu Lai Chal Apne Naal Ve,
Please take me along with you,
Ve Sanu Lai Chal Apne Naal Ve,
Oh, please take me along with you,

Oh, please take me along with you,

O camel-rider, turn your camel around and come back.
Ho Dachi! Haye Dachi! Ve Dachi!
O camel! Ah, camel!
Ve Dachi Waliya Mor Muhaar Ve,
O camel-rider, turn your camel around and come back.
Soni Waliya Lai Chal Naal Ve,

I pray to God to keep you safe,
Tere Sir Di Mangni Aan Khair Ve,
I pray to God to keep you safe,
Ho Teri Daachi Te Gal Wich Talliyan,
Your camel has small, tinkling bells round her neck.
