naiya dub rahi
aaye bachao kanhaiya
aaye bachao kanhaiya
naiya dub rahi
aaye bachao kanhaiya
aaye bachao kanhaiya

bhanwar pade majdhar pade
sakhi haar gayo hao khivaiya
sakhi haar gayo hao khivaiya
naiya dub rahi
aaye bachao kanhaiya
aaye bachao kanhaiya

bijli kadake badal garje
bijli kadake badal garje
andkar sir par tha bhaari
narayan hari beghi pasaro
narayan hari beghi pasaro
sharan tihari
deen bandhu hari aas tihari kanhaiya
naiya dub rahi
naiya dub rahi
aaye bachao kanhaiya
aaye bachao kanhaiya
naiya dub rahi
aaye bachao kanhaiya
aaye bachao kanhaiya

The vessel founders,
Come, Krishna, rescue me.
Come, Krishna, rescue me.
The vessel founders,
Come, Krishna, rescue me.
Come, Krishna, rescue me.

Whirlpools rage, the middle dark,
My boatman, he has lost his way.
My boatman, he has lost his way.
The vessel founders,
Come, Krishna, rescue me.
Come, Krishna, rescue me.

Lightning cracks, the clouds now roar,
Darkness descends, a heavy shroud.
Oh, Lord of all, your arms extend,
Oh, Lord of all, your arms extend,
Shelter I crave.
Friend of the poor, in you I trust, O Krishna,
The vessel founders.
The vessel founders.
Come, Krishna, rescue me.
Come, Krishna, rescue me.
The vessel founders,
Come, Krishna, rescue me.
Come, Krishna, rescue me.
