dukhiyare naina dhundhe piya ko
nis din kare pukar
dukhiyare naina dhundhe piya ko
nis din kare pukar
dukhiyare naina

phir kya aayengi wo raate
phir kya aayengi wo raate
laut gayi hai jo barate
laut gayi hai jo barate
beete din aur bichhaa saathi
beete din aur bichhaa saathi
bahati nadi ki dhar
dukhiyare naina
dukhiyare naina dhundhe piya ko
nis din kare pukar
dukhiyare naina

raah me naina deeya jalaye
raah me naina deeya jalaye
aap jale aur jiya jalaye
aap jale aur jiya jalaye
jis se jivan bhi jal jaye
jis se jivan bhi jal jaye
wo kaisi jaldhaar
dukhiyare naina
dukhiyare naina dhundhe piya ko
nis din kare pukar
dukhiyare naina

Sorrowing eyes, they seek the Beloved,
Calling out, day and night,
Sorrowing eyes.

Will those nights ever return,
Those wedding processions now gone?
Days have passed, the companion departed,
Like a river's flowing current.
Sorrowing eyes.
Sorrowing eyes, they seek the Beloved,
Calling out, day and night,
Sorrowing eyes.

In the path, eyes light a lamp,
Burning themselves, setting the heart aflame,
Burning themselves, setting the heart aflame,
A fire that consumes life itself,
What a burning stream.
Sorrowing eyes.
Sorrowing eyes, they seek the Beloved,
Calling out, day and night,
Sorrowing eyes.
