O Chakrat! Deliver my letter
Do tell me the state of my lover
Deliver the letter to my lover
I write in detail about Rolla
The face of my lover is unique
The way a rose’s stem is
Life is almost over. Only little remains
Life’s lonely. There’s no companion
I’ve waited for long
I’ve lost all hope
O Rana! Do preserve your words
Don’t worry

O chitti meni tsakraatua puzaaiya o
Mene sajne to hal shunaiya ho
Chitthi kiriya mene sajne hawale ho
Rolle bare likhu chhu mi bistare o
Mene sajne ti surat narali o
Zimri phullu chhi gulabe ti dali ho
Matti beeti geyi thori rayi baki o
Jind ekli ji kents na sathi ho
O bat taki takia chhi tsupi geya o
Az sariya umeeda muki geya o
O rana tuniya katha manu na guwano ho
Tuno dil apno samzano ho
