ज़नॖ छखव ज़ूनि आफताबस ज़ामॖच़
ज़नॖ छखव नूरॖ प्यठॖ पॉदॖ गॉमॖच़
ड्यकस छुय टिक्कॖ तय नसति छय चून्यि
च़ॖ कसु ज़ूनि ज़ामॖच़ छॆख
हॉरी असॆय ओस तम्मन्ना चोनुय
च़ायॖखो वॉर्यविक दरॖवाज़ो
तमॖहॅच कूरि च़ॊलुम अरॖमानय
च़ॆय वॖछित पछ़ नय छमॖ यॖवान
हवालॖ हय कॅरमख पीरि पीरानस
सुय रछि चॉनिस शुर्य पानस
दिलॖचव तारव रॅछमखव हॉरी
बखॖतावॉरी पूशिनय
English Translation
As if. you are born out of the communion of moon (ज़ूनि) and sun (आफताबस)
As if you have emerged (पॉदॖ गॉमॖच़) from the divine light (नूरॖ)
Your forehead flaunts a टिक्कॖ (ornament studded with gold and jewels)
Your nose a चून्यि (crystal stud)
Who is the moon (ज़ूनि) you are born to (ज़ामॖच़) ?
My mynah (हॉरी), we have desired (तम्मन्ना) you so much
As you step through (च़ायॖखो) your in-laws (वॉर्यविक) door (दरॖवाज़ो)
O my long wished (तमॖहॅच) daughter (कूरि), my desires stand fulfilled (च़ॊलुम अरॖमानय)
I marvel in disbelief (पछ़ नय) when I look at you (च़ॆय वॖछित)
I hand you over (हवालॖ कॅरमख) unto the divine master (पीरि पीरानस)
He is always going to guard (रछि) your child-like innocence (शुर्य पानस)
Darling (हॉरी), I have coddled (रॅछमखव) you with each strand of my heart (दिलॖचव तारव)
May good fortune (बखॖतावॉरी) keep you embraced forever! (पूशिनय)
