Je jaanan til thorarre

Je jaanan till thorarre, sambhal bukk bhareen
Je jaanan shoh nandhara, thorra maan kareen

English Translation

Fareed, if I had known that I had so few sesame seeds, I would have been more careful with them in my hands. If I has known that my Husband Lord was so young and innocent, I would not have been so arrogant.

Translation: S. S. Khalsa
