Dear mother! From the way of Shyamla (Shimla),
How far Chamba is..

I don't want to settle in Shyamla (Shimla)
nor Sapattu,
But I definitely want to settle in Chamba.

O crow! Fly away and
send my message,
I will definitely meet my beloved.

Love happened in a far place,
It is the fault of eyes.

I will go to my beloved place,
He is the shine of my eyes.


'Maaye Ni Meriye' or 'Chamba Kitini K Door' a very popular Himachali Folk song, translated in Sanskrit Language by MANOJ KUMAR Assistant professor of Sanskrit at GCTE Dharmshala, (H.P.).
