Sajjna ve sajjnaMy beloved, oh my beloved,
Raatan ‘te khalowait through the lonely nights.
Sajjna ve sajjnaMy beloved, oh my beloved,
Raatan ‘te khalowait through the lonely nights.
Aan ikk gall dassni zaroorI must tell you one thing for certain.
Saari-saari raat baithaYou’ll sit through the entire night,
Taariyaan nu ginegaand find yourself counting the stars,
Charh gaye je kikkran di boorif the ‘acacia’ flowers start to bloom.

Ho-o sajjna ve sajjnaOh, my beloved, my dear beloved,

Sun mere Ranjhiya veListen to me, my dear ‘Ranjha’ (beloved),

Sun mere Ranjhiya veListen to me, my dear ‘Ranjha’,
Nitt-nitt sauhn tainuEvery day, I won’t swear oaths to you,
Ghallye sunehe nahinor will I send these messages.
Nitt-nitt deniyaan na mundiyaanWe won’t exchange rings every single day,
Nitt-nitt injh nahionand things won’t always be this way.
Russna jawani neYouth won’t always throw these tantrums,
Nitt nahion karna zaroorit won’t stay this prideful forever.
Sajjna ve sajjnaMy beloved, oh my beloved,
Raatan ‘te khalowait through the lonely nights.
Haye sajjna ve sajjnaOh my beloved, my dear beloved,
Raatan ‘te khalowait through the lonely nights.
Sun mere haaniya veListen to me, my soulmate,
Surme di dhaar newith the sharp edge of my kohl,
Ratta jinnaI won’t feel even a tiny bit,
Ajj nahion sangnaof shyness or hesitation today.
Sapne maleva meriMy dreamlike union is like a strike,
Dutt ne jo maariyathat my long braid has dealt.
Sohniya tuYou’re so beautiful, my love,
Paani vi nahi mangnayou won’t even have the breath to ask for water.
Saukna da thappa tereThe mark of rivals is upon you,
Hath diyaan bothiyaanand on the palms of your hands.
Tera na ve koyi vi kasoorBut you aren’t at fault at all.
Sajjna ve sajjnaMy beloved, oh my beloved,
Raatan ‘te khalowait through the lonely nights.
Aan ikk gall dassni zaroorI must tell you one thing for certain.
Saari-saari raat baithaYou’ll sit through the entire night,
Taariyaan nu ginegaand find yourself counting the stars,
Charh gaye je kikkran di boorif the ‘acacia’ flowers start to bloom.
Haye sajjna ve sajjnaOh my beloved, my dear beloved,
Raatan ‘te khaloWait through the lonely nights.
