roz akeli aae, roz akeli jaae
roz akeli aae, roz akeli jaae
chand katora lie bhikharan rat
roz akeli aae, roz akeli jaae

motiyo jaise tare, aanchal me hai sare
motiyo jaise tare, aanchal me hai sare
jane ye phir kya mange bhikharan rat
roz akeli aae, roz bechari jaae

jogan jaisi lage, na soe na jage
jogan jaisi lage, na soe na jage
gali-gali me jaae bhikharan rat
roz akeli aae, roz bechari jaae

roz lagaae phera, hai koi nanha savera
roz lagaae phera, hai koi nanha savera
god me bhar do, ai bhikharan rat
roz akeli aae, roz akeli jaae
roz akeli aae, roz akeli jaae
chand katora lie bhikharan rat
roz akeli aae, roz bechari jaae

Each dawn she arrives, alone she departs,
Each dawn she arrives, alone she departs,
The moon a beggar, bowl in her hold,
Each dawn she arrives, alone she departs.

Like pearls the stars, within her shawl,
Like pearls the stars, within her shawl,
What more could she crave, this night's begging call?
Each dawn she arrives, alone she departs.

A yogini's guise, she neither sleeps nor wakes,
A yogini's guise, she neither sleeps nor wakes,
Through every alley, this beggar night rakes,
Each dawn she arrives, alone she departs.

Each day she circles, for a dawn yet small,
Each day she circles, for a dawn yet small,
Embrace her in your arms, this beggar's thrall,
Each dawn she arrives, alone she departs.
Each dawn she arrives, alone she departs,
The moon a beggar, bowl in her hold,
Each dawn she arrives, alone she is gone.
