chori chori

vey main chori chori tere nall la layeiaan ahkhaan vey
Silently and secretly I fell in love with you (transliteration: my eyes met yours)
main chori chori

duniya tonh jakhaan te mainh pyaar tera rakhaan
I shy away from the world and keep safe my love (for you)

vey main chori chori tere nall la layeiaan ahkhaan vey
main chori chori

maa-peyan di lajj tere leyi main gavayein ve
I sacrificed the honor of my parents for you

tu teh anjaan saadih kadarr na paayi ve
But you remain unaware and do not value me

phir vih main jhalee hoke rah tera takkan
And yet, like an imbecile, I await your arrival

vey main chori chori tere nall la layeiaan ahkhaan vey


pyaar piche har koyi mittiyan vi chaan da
In the pursuit of love, everyone toils (transliteration: everyone sieves sands)

disda na ik pal, vaeri meri jaan da
Not visible for a moment, an enemy to my peace

eh teh ve mainh jaanideiyan taenu mere jaiyyan lakhan
I know that, for you there are hundreds of thousands like me

vey main chori chori tere nall la layeiaan ahkhaan vey


changeya main jaatha taenu, lakhaan jind jaan tu
I have found you to be a good person, you are a thousand lives to me

rajj gayiyaan paavein bibba jag te jahan tonh
even though, sweetheart, I’ve had my heart’s content of this world

das manzoor keevein dil nu main dakkaan
Tell me, O Manzoor, how do I stop my heart


vey main chori chori tere nall la layeiaan ahkhaan vey
