Mein Kamli Mastani Lyrics

CHORUS:

Mein kamli, mastani, loca!

I, the crazy, the free-spirited, O folks!

Mein kamli, mastani!

I, the crazy, the free-spirited!

Ishq samunder, taari laai,

Into the ocean of love, I took a dive,

Keeti mein man-maani, loca!

I followed my heart, O folks!

Mein kamli, mastani!

I, the crazy, the free-spirited!

VERSE 1:

Mein akhyaa’n de sadqay jaawaa’n,

I adore so, these eyes;

Mastt nazaara keeta!

Such a beautiful vision, they paint!

Kol bitha ke, roop Sajjan da:

Seating my Beloved next to me, her face…

Chaanan waango’n, peeta!

…lit like the moonlight, I got drunk on!

Chann’ kirnaa’n tou, d’haagay lei ke,

From the moon-rays, borrowing yarn,

Sooraj kolo’n suyyiaa’n…

From the sun, sewing needles….

Ishqay di phulkari wala

Of floral patterns of Ishq (mad love)

Rangla chola seeta!

…a colorful robe, I wove!

Khul khulla ke nachh khaloee,

Liberated, she stood up dancing so,

Shor payaa aasmaani.

That the uproar reached the heavens.

VERSE 2:

Mein wich mein naahi, maahi wass’da;

It is not I that dwells within me: my Beloved does;

Mein maahi wich wassaa’n…

And I dwell within my Beloved…

Mann’ masti wich udh’di jaawaa’n,

I keep soaring to where my heart steers me,

Lei ishqay diyaa’n jhassaa’n.

In the intoxication of ‘Ishq’ (mad love).

Kidday laee mei,n nain shingaray?

For whom, did I embellish my eyes?

Loki puchh puchh haaray…

Asking me (this), people tired away…

Sirr jaanda te jaaway per mein,

You may behead me, for all I care,

Dil da phaidd na dassaa’n:

But I won’t share the secret in my heart:

Mein maahi wich wassaa’n!

(That) I dwell within my Beloved!

Mein maahi de hathh da kangan,

I, the adornment on my Beloved’s wrist,

O meray gall’ di gaani.

He, the pendant around my neck.
