bhor bhaye panaghat pe mohe natakhat shyaam sataaye
mori chunariyaa lipati jaaye mai ka karun haay raam haay
bhor bhaye panaghat pe mohe natakhat shyaam sataaye
mori chunariyaa lipati jaaye mai ka karun haay raam haay
bhor bhaye panghat pe

koi sakhi saheli naahi sag mai akeli
koi dekhe to ye jane paniya bharane ke bahane
gagri uthaye radha shyam se haay haay shyam se milne jaye haay
bhor bhaye panghat pe mohe natakhat shyam sataye
bhor bhaye panghat pe

aaye pawan jhakoraa tute ang ang mora
chori chori chup ke chupke baitha kahi pe wo chhupke
dekhe muskaye niralaj ko nirlaj ko laaj na aaye haay
bhor bhaye panghat pe mohe natkhat shyam sataye
bhor bhaye panghat pe

mai na milun dagar me to woh chalaa aaye ghar me
mai dun gaali mai dun jhidaki mai naa kholun bad khidaki
nindiya jo aaye to wo kakar haay haay kakar maar jagaye haay
bhor bhaye panghat pe mohe natakhat shyaam sataaye
mori chunariya lipati jaaye mai ka karun haay raam haay haay
bhor bhaye panghat pe

Dawn unfurls, at the ghat, a mischievous Shyam teases,
My veil ensnared, what to do, alas, oh Ram, alas?
Dawn unfurls, at the ghat, a mischievous Shyam teases,
My veil ensnared, what to do, alas, oh Ram, alas?
Dawn unfurls, at the ghat.

No friend, no companion near, alone I stand,
Let them see, they’ll know, it's a pretense of fetching water,
A pitcher I lift, Radha goes to meet Shyam, alas, Shyam!
Dawn unfurls, at the ghat, a mischievous Shyam teases,
Dawn unfurls, at the ghat.

A gust of wind arrives, breaking my every limb,
Secretly, silently, he sits hidden, watching,
He smiles, shameless, the shameless knows no shame, alas!
Dawn unfurls, at the ghat, a mischievous Shyam teases,
Dawn unfurls, at the ghat.

If I don't meet on the path, he comes to my home,
I curse him, I scold him, I won’t open the closed window,
If sleep descends, he throws pebbles, alas, pebbles wake me!
Dawn unfurls, at the ghat, a mischievous Shyam teases,
My veil ensnared, what to do, alas, oh Ram, alas, alas?
Dawn unfurls, at the ghat.
