papiha re, peev ki vaani na bol
papiha re, peev ki vaani na bol
peev ki vaani na bol, na bol
papiha re

thara shabad suhavana re
thara shabad suhavana re
jo peev milya aaj
thari chonch madhau sovani
tu mere sir da
tu mere sir da
peev ki vaani na bol, na bol
papiha re

preetam ko patiya likhu
kaua tu le jaye
preetam jo so yaad kahe re
thari birhani dhaan na thaay
dhaan na thaay
birhani dhaan na thaay
peev ki vaani na bol, na bol
papiha re

meera daasi vyakul re
peev peev karat bihayi
vegi milo prabhu antaryami
vegi milo prabhu antaryami
tum bin rahyo na jaayi
tum bin rahyo na jaayi
tum bin rahyo na jaayi
tum bin rahyo na jaayi
tum bin rahyo na jaayi

Cuckoo, cease your yearning call,
Cuckoo, cease your yearning call,
Cease your call, let it fall,
Cuckoo, hush.

Your voice, a sweet delight,
Your voice, a sweet delight,
If love were found this day,
I'd gild your beak in golden light,
Upon my head, you'd sway,
Upon my head, you'd sway.
Cease your call, let it fall,
Cuckoo, hush.

To my love, a letter I pen,
Let a crow, as messenger, fly,
If my love remembers me then,
My sorrowing heart will die,
Will surely die,
Will surely die.
Cease your call, let it fall,
Cuckoo, hush.

Meera, your servant, distraught,
Love, love, she cries, consumed,
Hasten, Lord, the inner thought,
Hasten, before I'm entombed,
Without you, I'm doomed,
Without you, I'm doomed,
Without you, I'm doomed,
Without you, I'm doomed,
Without you, I'm doomed.
