This is back on my dash! And listen, I love to see Amir Khusrau getting appreciation, but this translation ignores a lot. The original rhymes! And scans! And does playful things with register! And conveys a tone of affectionate banter between the two speakers, not least because it has them both addressing each other as sakhi (translated above as “girl”) in the last two lines. I think taking some liberties with line order is worth it to preserve more of the rest—and I think there’s a better translation of sakhi. And so:

He only visits once a year, I splurge big on him when he’s here, His kisses make my tastebuds tango. Who, bitch, your man? Nah, bitch, a mango.

Original if anyone’s curious! (Me. I was curious. So I looked it up.)

Rough transliteration because I am by no means an expert: Barsa baras vo des mein aave Muh se muh laga ras piyaave Va khatir mein kharche daam Ae sakhi saajan na sakhi aam

Can confirm that the second translation holds up much better tonally!! AND IT EVEN RHYMES!!! Which, as you can see, the original does in fact do.

Also I was bored I put together a very, VERY literal word-for-word translation under the cut.

Sometimes it’s not enough for me to see a translation I need to know what every single word means so I can understand why they used the words they used in translations so. Ahaha. Yeah. Just in case anyone else is tragically unwell like I am.

big fan of when you peel back all layers of a character and at the bottom of it there's love

why are they doing this? because they loved someone so much it caused the plot to happen. Grief counts btw

ESPECIALLY a big fan of when this isn't enough to make them a good person

doing things at the right age is literally a made up concept. you can start/pursue anything at any age. btw.
