ka karu sajni, aaye na balam
ka karu sajni, aaye na balam
khoj rahi hai, piya pardesi ankhiya
khoj rahi hai, piya pardesi ankhiya
aaye na balam
ka karu sajni, aaye na balam

jab bhi koi aahat hove, manwa mora bhage
dekho kahin tute nahi, prem ke ye dhaage
hai matwari reet humari, chhupe na chhupaye
chhupe na chhupaye
sawan ho tum, main hu tori badariya
aaye na balam
ka karu sajni, aaye na balam

o bhor bhayi aur sanjh dhali re
samayne ne li angdayi
ye jag sara nind se haara
mohe nind na aayi
ho main ghabrau, dar dar jaau
aaye wo na aaye, aaye wo na aaye
radha bulaye, kahan khoye ho kanhaiya
aaye na balam
ka karu sajni, aaye na balam

What can I do, friend, my love does not come?
What can I do, friend, my love does not come?
My eyes are searching, for my faraway beloved,
My eyes are searching, for my faraway beloved,
My love does not come.
What can I do, friend, my love does not come?

Whenever a whisper stirs, my heart leaps,
I fear our threads of love will break apart.
Our way is drunken, hidden, and cannot be concealed,
Cannot be concealed.
You are the monsoon, I am your cloud,
My love does not come.
What can I do, friend, my love does not come?

The dawn breaks, the dusk descends,
Time stretches, sighs,
The world succumbs to slumber,
But sleep escapes me.
I am anxious, I am afraid,
Will he come, will he not come?
Radha calls, where have you gone, Krishna?
My love does not come.
What can I do, friend, my love does not come?
