Take it my daughter
this tumbler of glass
fill it with the flame from the hearth
close to your being
in a tight clasp
Keep my daughter
this tumbler of glass
Even if its glow, tenderly
seeps out
let no one ever know what it was
the glass must’nt crack
your gait mustn’t flag
filled to the brim
don’t let it overflow
don’t let your thirst
spill across
Take it my daughter
this tumbler of glass

Aah lai nee dheeye kachch da glass
aihde ch bhar lai chulhe di laat,
rakhkh lai ghutt ke jindarhi de pass
kachch da glass
Sheeshe chon simme bhaaveN ais daa chaanannaa
aihdi karaayiN kise naal pehchaan na
sheesha na tirhke
teri chaal na thirhke
nakko nak bhareyaa kite chhalak na jaave
dull na jaave
teri pyaas
kachch da glass
