Palkan Lyrics English Translation by Ekam Bawa
The poet writes, ‘The monsoon clouds are thundering, and the arrows of separation are piercing my chest.’ Ekam Bawa uses natural elements like clouds and arrows to describe the intensity of heartbreak. The lyrics reflect a soul crying out for closure from a distant lover.
Jaan Nikal Di MeriMy life is slipping away,
Tu Kahton Laai Teriwhy have you taken so long?
Akhaan Samne Ek Vaar Tu Aaja VeJust come before my eyes one time.
Saavan Rutte Baddal GajdeThe monsoon clouds are thundering,
Teer Judaai Seene Vajdeand the arrows of separation are piercing my chest.
Kyon Jind Nada Tu Khoon Kamal Peena VeWhy do you drain the life out of my innocent soul?
Tere Raahan Vich Vichhaiyan PalkaanI’ve laid my eyes upon your path,
Kyon Jaan Dukh Tu Dinna Vewhy do you cause my soul such pain?
Tere Pichhe Mardi Aan Main To Hauke AaI’m dying as I sigh for you,
Dinda Nahin Tu Mainu Ve Deedaryet you won’t even give me a glimpse.
Aidan Je Ruwauna MainuIf you had to make me cry like this,
Dukhan Vich Pauna Mainuand throw me into such sorrow,
Chandreya De Goli Maaryou should’ve just shot me, you cruel one.
Totte Totte Dil KitaYou shattered my heart into pieces,
Thoda Time Chill Kitayou had your fun for a little while,
Baad Ch Tu Ho Gaya Faraarand then you just ran away.
Main Tan Tainu Rab ManI accepted you as my God,
Chhad Dita Sab Ghar Baharand left my home and everything behind.
Sun ‘Ekam Bawa’ VeListen, ‘Ekam Bawa’,
Mainu Chain Na Aave VeI can’t find any peace at all.
Das Tu Kithe Rehna VeTell me, where do you even live now?
Tere Raahan Vich Vichhaiyan PalkaanI’ve laid my eyes upon your path,
Kyon Jaan Dukh Tu Dinna Vewhy do you cause my soul such pain?
Mere Khwaab Vi Tut Jaande Ne Mere Sone Se PehleMy dreams shatter even before I fall asleep,
Mere Hanju Aa Jaande Ne Mere Rone Se Pehleand my tears fall even before I start crying.
Tu Door Na Jaaya Kar Tu Dhadkan Hai MeriDon’t go far away from me, you’re my heartbeat.
Chhad Saari Duniya Nu Main Ho Gayi Aan TeriLeaving the entire world behind, I became yours.
Tu Saahan Vich Mere Tu Raah Vich MereYou’re in my breaths and you’re in my every path,
Beparwah Tu Kinna Veyet you’re so carelessly indifferent.
Tere Raahan Vich Vichhaiyan PalkaanI’ve laid my eyes upon your path,
Kyon Jaan Dukh Tu Dinna Vewhy do you cause my soul such pain?
