Nahaati dhoti sanbahi

Nahaati dhoti sanbahi
Sutti aai nachand
Rahi su berri hing di
Gai kathori gandh

English Translation

Bathing, washing and decorating herself, she comes and sleeps without anxiety. Fareed, she still smells like asafoetida; the fragrance of musk is gone.

Translation: S. S. Khalsa
