rup-nagar ki kuwri tarse raja prit nihar
akeli hu main piya aa

karde pyar ki shital chhaiya
rup ki dhup me mai jalu saiya
karde pyar ki shital chhaiya

akeli hu main piya aa

Alone am I, Beloved, ah,
Alone am I, Beloved, ah.
The maiden of the city of forms yearns,
The maiden of the city of forms yearns,
for the King to fulfill love's decree.
Alone am I, Beloved, ah.

In the sun of beauty, I burn, O Love,
In the sun of beauty, I burn, O Love.
Grant me the cool shade of your affection,
In the sun of beauty, I burn, O Love.
Grant me the cool shade of your affection,
Do not scorch me further now.
Alone am I, Beloved, ah.
