Chhalla vas nahi o mere / The ring, it listens to no one
Chhalla vas meri maan de / The ring, it listens only to my Mother
Ghallegi tan jange / It will leave only if she tells it to
Ve gall sun, chhalleya / Listen my love
Khaure keeta kis is ‘te toona / Don’t know who’s cast this spell
Chhalla aa pia khuh ‘te / The ring, it lies on the well
Gallan karie munh ‘te / Let’s talk face to face
Ve gall sun, chhalleya / Listen my love
Sanu vekhan nu tera ji ni karda / Don’t you wanna see me sometime
Tainu vekhe bina mera ni sarda / It’s hard for me not to see you
Chhalla bambii da paani / The ring, Earth's water
Kithhey veh gaye ne jaani / Where has my love drifted to
Asaan khabar ko na jaani / I have no news
Ve gall sun, chhalleya / Listen my love
Teri beri ik uggeya ey kanda / On your berry has grown a thorn
Chhalla ambian kachian / The ring, unripe mangoes
Mattan de koi sachian / Someone give me sage advices
Laiey lekhe jo bachian / Let’s commit to contemplation
Terian merian gharian / What’s left of time, yours and mine
Ve gall sun, chhalleya / Listen my love
Langh javan ain na umran khaali / Or our lives will go waste
Chhalla gut ik lammi / The ring, a long braid
Asan supne si chummi / I kissed it in my dream
Hoi neeyat si anni / The desire had gone blind
Asan dil di si manni / But I listened to my heart
Ve gall sun, chhalleya / Listen my love
Hun de lai jehrhi deni ey sazaa / Now punish me as you will
Chhalla boardh ik ‘kalla / The ring, a lone banyan
Unhe fardheya ey palla / He holds on to the
Thalle dharat utte Allah / Earth below and God above
Ve gall sun, chhalleya / Listen my love
Khaure jandian kinni dunghian jarhan / How far run his roots
Es gall da os khud nu nahi pata / He knows not himself
~Rabbi Shergill
