"Akhiyaan ch paavan kivein" (with english translation)- Surinder Kaur

This is a beautiful Punjabi Folk song sung by 'Surinder Kaur' famous as 

Koyal (cuckoo) of Punjab.

The soulful lyrics are written by well-known Punjabi Poet 'Shiv Kumar Batalvi'.

 I have tried translating it in English so that non-Punjabi speakers can also admire the depth of the words in the song :)

" Inna Akhiyan Ch Paavan Kive Kajla Ve
Akhiyan Ch Tu Vasda.. -2

How do i wear kohl on my eyes..

when it's you (who resides) in my eyes..

Har Vele Channa Mera Tere val Muh Ve -2 
Buliyan ch Naa Tera

Akhiyan ch Tu ve.. -2

My Love.. Your face is ever present before me 

Your name is on my lips..

You are in my eyes..

Jadon Hasdi, Bhulekha menu Painda Ve
Haseya Ch Tu Hasda -2

When i laugh i get delusional..
For i feel you laughing (with me) in my laughter..

Lamiyan si Vaatan Channa
Nere Nere Aaea Tu -2

Dear.. the path was too long

 You came closer and closer..

Akhiyan De Raahi Aa Ke
Dil Ch Samayeya Tu -2

Through the way of eyes..

you made a way into my heart..

Jadon Puchdi aa Piyar Diyan Gallan Ve
Hauli Hauli tu dasda

When i ask you about the lovetalks..

You whisper to me softly..

Inna Akhiyan Ch Paavan Kive Kajla Ve
Akhiyan Ch Tu Vasda

How do i wear kohl on my eyes..

when it's you (who resides) in my eyes..

Masa Masa Jindari Main Pyar vich Rangi Ve -2
Aj Menu Jaapda Main..

tere Naal mangi Ve
Aj Khushiyan da Ho Gea Savera Ve
Gam Saathon Door Nasda

With much struggle I've painted life with love..

Today i have realized..

 I'm meant to be with you..

Today it's the dawn of happiness (contentment)

Sorrow is going away from us..

Inna Akhiyan Ch Paavan Kive Kajla Ve

Akhiyan Ch Tu Vasda...

How do i wear kohl on my eyes..

when it's you (who resides) in my eyes.. "

P.S. My favourite lines in this song are "Jadon Hasdi, Bhulekha menu Painda Ve Haseya Ch Tu Hasda " : )

If there's any suggestion about translation of this song, please do comment.

4 O' clock sunshine!!! =)

Have you ever experienced the magic of 4 O' clock sunshine?

In the hum-drum of life.. my usual 9 to 3 college days.. i'd eagerly wait for the clock to tick 4! I'd get ready like a hurricane. No matter what i'm doing. No matter how the weather is. No matter how my mood is. Just the thought of experiencing the magic at 4 would bring me on my feet like a zombie being brought to life! The world changes into some magical place at 4.
 As i drive through the streets, i feel the 'bheeni-bheeni' sunshine around. I feel like i'm in some nostalgic movie.

It feels like everything is passing by so softly. Like nature is playing its mystical music which only i can hear. The trees, the people on the road, the vehicles.. everything is just dancing along that music. There's no rush to reach anywhere. There's peace in heart. Everything's calm.
I can feel my eyes smiling. I'm just in the moment.
I feel so in love. The kind of love where there's no lover but still you feel the love inside your heart.
I'm grateful for being alive.. for experiencing the moment.
It is all so surreal...
I wonder if anybody else has ever experienced the magic of 4 0' clock sunshine!
