sakhi ri laaj bairan bhai
sakhi ri laaj bairan bhai
shri laal gopal ke sang

sakhi ri laaj bairan bhai

chalan chahat gokul hi te ae ae ae
chalan chahat gokul hi te
rath sajayo naahi
rath chadhaye gopaal lai gayo
raht chadhaye gopaal lai gayo
haath mijat rahi

birah me tanatai
daas mira laal giridhar
daas mira laal giridhar
bikhar kyun gayi

Oh friend, shame, a treacherous foe, it seems,
Shame, a foe, it now appears.
With Shri Lal Gopal, my love's vibrant gleam,
Why didn't I go, consumed by fears?
Oh friend, shame, a treacherous foe, it seems.

To journey to Gokul, my heart did yearn, aye,
To Gokul, my soul did crave.
No chariot prepared, my chance did fly,
He took me away, my love to save.
Gopal took me away, the path unknown,
While I wrung my hands, alone.
Oh friend, shame, a treacherous foe, it seems.

My heart is pierced, by Shyam’s departure's sting,
My heart, the love’s own shrine.
In separation's fire, my soul takes wing,
In agony, a life entwined.
Meera, His servant, for Giridhar, I call,
Why did I fall, to pieces, to fall?
Oh friend, shame, a treacherous foe, it seems,
Oh friend, shame, a treacherous foe, it seems.
