priyatama priyatamaa ho priyatamaa
priyatam tera mera pyar gup chup
kya jane sansar
priyatama tera mera pyar
priyatama tera mera pyar gup chup
kya jane sansar
priyatama tera mera pyar

lakho ke parde ke andar
lakho ke parde ke andar
jalta hai angar chup chup
kya jane kya jane kya jane sansar
priyatama tera mera pyar

ghadi ghadi japti hu aadhi rat ko
padi padi tadpu main mulakat ko
khadi khadi khidki ke sahare
khadi khadi khidki ke sahare
karti hu singar chup chup
kya jane kya jane kya jane sansar
priyatama tera mera pyar

in taro me gajre bikhre sawre
is pagdandi ki hai thandi chhav re
is pagdandi ki hai thandi chhav re
prem nagar ki raho me to
prem nagar ki raho me to
baho ka bal har gup chup
kya jane kya jane sansar
priyatama tera mera pyar

ud jata hai piya papiha bol ke
ho jati hu khadi kiwadiya khol ke
aadhi rat diya bujhte hi
aadhi rat diya bujhte hi
o jana ek tar gup chup
kya jane kya jane sansar
priyatama tera mera pyar
priyatama tera mera pyar gup chup
kya jane sansar priyatama tera mera pyar

Beloved, oh beloved, my beloved,
Our love, a secret whispered low,
Unseen by the world’s knowing eye,
Beloved, our love, a secret flow.
Beloved, our love, a secret low,
Unseen by the world’s knowing eye,
Beloved, our love, a secret flow.

Within the veil of countless souls,
Within the veil of countless souls,
A hidden ember softly glows,
Unknowing, unknowing, the world's cold gaze,
Beloved, our love, a secret flow.

Each hour I chant your name in night,
Yearning for our meeting bright,
Leaning on a window's frame,
Leaning on a window's frame,
Adorning myself, a silent rite,
Unknowing, unknowing, the world's cold gaze,
Beloved, our love, a secret flow.

In starry strands, garlands bloom,
Beneath the path's cool, shadowed room,
Beneath the path's cool, shadowed room,
In love's city, on roads we roam,
In love's city, on roads we roam,
Embraces, a silent, binding groom,
Unknowing, unknowing, the world’s cold gaze,
Beloved, our love, a secret flow.

The *Papiha* calls, then takes to wing,
I stand, the portal opening,
As the lamp dims in the midnight air,
As the lamp dims in the midnight air,
My love, a lone string softly sings,
Unknowing, unknowing, the world’s cold gaze,
Beloved, our love, a secret flow,
Beloved, our love, a secret low,
Unseen by the world’s knowing eye,
Beloved, our love, a secret flow.
