ghunghat ki aaot pali jyot bali ratnari
sabnam ki bundo me raat ghuli kajrari
na aaya na aaya na aaya mera jiskla balam na aaya
mera jiskla balam na aaya mera jiskla balam na aaya

san san dabi dabi chali jo ang ang pe dilbar aaja dilbar aaja
aa na aa na subha sham khule hi aa
meri baah tham meri baah tham
aji pyar jatana mardana aji pyar jatana mardana
meri sawali kaya pe o ray piya o ray piya o ray piya
aaj chaya sitaro ka saya sitaro ka saya sitaro ka saya

Veiled in shadow, a light was born, a gem ignited,
Night's kohl, in dewdrops, a darkness invited.
He came not, he came not, my beloved, he came not,
My soul's beloved, he came not, my beloved, he came not.

Whispers of longing, brushed on the limbs, my love, come,
Come, come, in dawn and dusk, open, come,
Hold my arm, hold my arm,
Love's display, a man's heart's bold claim, love's display,
On my questioning form, oh my love, oh my love, oh my love,
Now falls the embrace of starlight, of starlight, of starlight.
