Lyrics Maye Ni Maye, Main Ek Shikra Yaar Banaya,

harmanjit_kaur

Waheguru Waheguru
Maye Ni Maye,
Main Ek Shikra Yaar Banaya,

//mother hey mother
//i befriended a hawk

ohde Sir De Kalgi, Te pairi Jhanjhar,
te O Chog Chuginda Aaya,
//A plume on his head, n bells on his feet
//he came pecking 4 grain

Ek ohde Roop Dee Dhup Teekheri,
te Dooja Mehka Da Tirhaya,
//one, his beauty was as sharp as perfumes
//n 2nd, was thirsty fragrance

Teeja ohda Rang Gulabi,
ho Kise Gori Maa Da Jaya,
//3rd his color was d color of rose
//born from a fair mother

Ishqe Da Ek Palang Nawari,
ve Assan Channania vich daya,
Tann Di Chaaddar Ho Gayi Maili,
Os Pair Ja Palgi Paya,
//i laid a bed of love
//in the moonlight
//my body sheet was stained
//d instant he laid his foot on my bed!

Ni ohde chet di aathan
ate zulfee saavan chaaya
hothaa de vich kahte da
koi dihoon chadne te aaya
//his eyes were an evenning in spring
//his hair a dark cloud
//his lips, a rising autumn dawn

Dukkhan mere Naina De Koye,
Te vich Harh Hanjua Da Aaya,
Sari Raat gayi vich socha,
Us A Ki zulm Kamaaya,
//corners of my eyes hurt
//n a flood of tears engulfed me
//all night went thinking
//what he did this 2 me

Bolla de vich paun pure di
ni o koilaan da hamsaaya

chitte dand jyon dhaano bagla
tori maar udaaya
//his words had eastern breeze blowing
//like d sound of a blackbird (nightingale)
//his smile was d whiteness of a crane in d rice field
//taking flight at d clap of a hand

Subha Savere Laini Vattna,
ve Assa Mal Mal os Navaya,
Dehi de vicho Niklan Chin gaa,
te saada Haath Gaya kumlaya,
//early in d morning, with vattna (a paste used to cleansing skin)
//i scrubbed n bathed my body
//bt embers kept bursting out
//n my hands flagged
Choori Kuttta Ta O Khanda Naahi,
ve Assa Dil Da Maas Khwaya,
Ek Udaari Aisi Maari,
O Mud Vatnee Na Aaya,
//prepared choorma bt he doesnt eat
//i gave him the flesh of m heart
//he took such a takeoff
//never came back home
maaye ni...ni mai ik shikra yaar banaya
 
Dear Harmanjit,

I searched for the lyrics and meaning of "Maye Ni Maye, Main Ek..." and found your post on this thread.
Could you help me with the lyrics and meaning of "Wasta-E-Mera" by Surinder Kaur also.

It shall be very nice of you.

Your translation sucks! It's inaccurate and needs a LOT OF improvement!
