Jaan kuwari taan chao

Jaan kawari taan chao vivahi taan maamle
Fareeda eho pachtao wat kanwari na thiye

English Translation

When she is a virgin, she is full of desire; but when she is married, then her troubles begin. Fareed, she has this one regret, that she cannot be virgin again.

Translation: S. S. Khalsa
