At 3m 41 sec, where you have the translation as "O God, send me an invitation...". Its not, O God. The Punjabi word there is "Sain", which translates to lover, master, friend etc. In the context of the poem, it will be the master. So, he is asking his master to send him an invitation. Other than that, good job, I liked it...:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your help! I always appreciate comments and corrections. I've updated the captions and removed the awkward parenthetical, so that line's translation is much better now.
