najuk si kali thi, chhaya me pali thi, tujhe mai dhup me laya
chhaya me pali thi, najuk si kali thi, tujhe mai dhup me laya
to
mafi mangta hu tujhse, mafi mangta hu tujhse
o sahiba o sahiba, o sahiba o sahiba
na na o baba na na, na na o baba na na
kirno se mili mai, shabnam me khili mai
mosam se tune milvaya
shabnam me khili mai, kirno se mili mai
mosam se tune milvaya, to
tera sukriya mai karu kaise, tera sukriya mai karu kaise
o sahiba o sahiba, o sahiba o sahiba

uper amber dharti niche, udd ja panchhi dekh na pichhe
uper amber dharti niche, udd ja panchhi dekh na pichhe
josh naya hai man ke ander, par karungi sat samander
chal rahi sath mere, aatho dishaye
o sahiba o sahiba, o sahiba o sahiba

ek thi sahmi mom ki gudiya, jo bijali se dar jati thi
kya kya ha
ek thi sahmi mom ki gudiya, jo bijali se dar jati thi
band andhero me rahti thi, vo to hawao se ghabrati thi
acha batao ab kaisa lagta hai
dil ko lubhane lagi hai, ab to fizaye
o sahiba o sahiba, o sahiba o sahiba

yovan khushbu ban ke aaye, tan man jiwan sab mehakaye
yovan khushbu ban ke aaye, tan man jiwan sab mehakaye
is jiwan ko jabse jiya hai, maine bhi mahsus kiya hai
khil ke kali phul bani, mehki hawaye
o sahiba o sahiba, o sahiba o sahiba
najuk si kali thi, chhaya me pali thi
ise tu dhup me laya, ise tu dhup me laya
mafi mangta hu tujhse, tera sukriya mai karu kaise
o sahiba o sahiba, o sahiba o sahiba, o sahiba o sahiba

A tender bud, in shadows kept,
To sunlit realms, you gently swept.
In shadows kept, a tender bud,
To sunlit realms, where I stood.

Forgive me, I implore,
Forgive me, evermore.
Oh, Sahiba, Sahiba,
Oh, Sahiba, Sahiba.
No, no, oh Baba, no, no,
No, no, oh Baba, no, no.
With sunbeams kissed, in dew I gleamed,
With seasons' touch, my life now streamed.
In dew I gleamed, with sunbeams kissed,
With seasons' touch, a life I've kissed,
How can I now, my gratitude impart?
How can I now, my grateful heart?
Oh, Sahiba, Sahiba,
Oh, Sahiba, Sahiba.

Above, the heavens, earth below,
Fly forth, bird, and do not slow.
Above, the heavens, earth below,
Fly forth, bird, and watch me grow.
New fire within, a vibrant spark,
I'll cross the seas, leave my mark.
With me they flow, the eight directions,
Oh, Sahiba, Sahiba,
Oh, Sahiba, Sahiba.

A timid doll of wax I was,
Who feared the lightning's passing buzz.
Yes, yes...
A timid doll of wax I was,
Who feared the lightning's sudden buzz.
In darkened confines, I did reside,
From breezes' touch, I'd hide inside.
Tell me now, how does it feel?
The air now charms, it does reveal.
Oh, Sahiba, Sahiba,
Oh, Sahiba, Sahiba.

Youth arrives, as fragrance sweet,
Body, mind, and life complete.
Youth arrives, as fragrance sweet,
Body, mind, and life now complete.
Since I've lived this life anew,
This feeling now, I know is true.
A bud that blooms, a fragrant flower,
Swept away by winds of power,
Oh, Sahiba, Sahiba,
Oh, Sahiba, Sahiba.

A tender bud, in shadows kept,
To sunlit realms, your loving wept.
To sunlit realms, your loving swept.
Forgive me, I implore,
How can I show, what's in store?
Oh, Sahiba, Sahiba,
Oh, Sahiba, Sahiba.
Oh, Sahiba, Sahiba.
