Koi pehle pehle pyar diyan gallan

Punjabi verse about first love preserved in a dried flower found inside an old book, its scent still arriving through the pages.

Koi pehle pehle pyar diyan gallan

haye tusi kyu nei jande khawaba cho.
Na ji hunda na mar hunda
na hunda saatho bhul sajjna.
Mainu ajv milan kitaba cho
tere vallo bheje phul sajjna.
