Titli Lyrics Translation — Satinder Sartaaj

Shayad Labda Labaunda Kadi Sadde Teek Aave
He may come to me someday to look for it;
Assi Ohdi Ek Cheez Vi Chhupayi Jan’ke
I have concealed something that belongs to him.

Shayad Ohnu Vi Pyar Wali Mehak Jehi Aave
He may also sense the aroma of love.
Assi Phullan Utte Titli Baithayi Jan’ke
I purposely placed the butterfly on the flowers.

Jehda Bhaureyan Gulaban Vichon Rass Katha Kitta Si
The juice that black bees had gathered from the roses,
Oh Kamlan De Patteyan Te Pake De Gaye
It was presented to us on lotus leaves by them.

Jehda Bhaureyan Gulaban Vichon Rass Katha Kitta Si
The liquid Black bees gathered from the flowers,
Oh Kamlan De Patteyan Te Pake De Gaye
They offered us the liquid on lotus leaves.

Madhu Makhiyan De Tole Sadde Jazbe Nu Dekh
Honeybees observed our enthusiasm…
Shehad Apenya Chhatteya Chon Lake De Gaye
And provided us honey from their hive.

Assi Rass Ate Shehad Vich Shabd Milake
We combined that sweet fluid and honey with our words…
Suche Ishqe Di Chashni Banayi Janke
To form a blissful love.

Shayad Ohnu Vi Pyar Wali Mehak Jehi Aave
He may also smell the aroma of love.
Assi Phullan Utte Titli Baithayi Jan’ke
I purposely placed the butterfly on the flowers.

Ho Mera Geet Jeha Mahi Jadon Ankhiyan Milave
My sweetheart is like a lovely melody, and once he makes eye contact with me,
Odon Sanu Aape Apne Te Naz Ho Jaye
I feel pleased of myself.

Kadi Lafzan Di Godi Vich Bacha Ban Janda
He becomes a kid at times while appreciating the lyrics,
Kadi Nazman Ch Baitha Sartaj Ho Jaye
and a master at others when in the company of poets.

Esse Aas Ch Ke Aake Zara Puchega Zaroor
Thinking he would come over and talk to me.
Tan Hi Ohnu Ohdi Nazam Sunayi Janke
I purposefully spoke his poetry to him.

Shayad Ohnu Vi Pyar Wali Mehak Jehi Aave

Ohnu Aasa Wali Tahni Utte Tang Vi Leya
And hoped that one day I would have it.

Ohde Vich Jo Malook’ne Jehe Khwab Sutte Paye, Assi Ohna Nu Gulabi Jeha Rang Vi Leya
I imagined my colorful life within that home.
Ajj Subhha-Subhha Sandli Hawawan Ch Suneha Deke Uddne Di Khabar Udayi Janke
I intentionally put the message in the air this morning that I am going to fly.

Shayad Ohnu Vi Pyar Wali Mehak Jehi Aave
