sur na saje kya gau mai
sur na saje kya gau mai
sur ke bina, jivan suna
sur ke bina, jivan suna
sur na saje kya gau mai
sur na saje

jalte gaya jivan mera
jalte gaya jivan mera
is raat na nahoga sawera
is raat na nahoga sawera
sur na saje

dono jaha, mujhase ruthe
dono jaha, mujhase ruthe
tere bina ye git bhi jhuthe
tere bina ye git bhi jhuthe
sur na saje

sagit man ko pakh lagae
gito me rimajhim ras barasae
sagit man ko pakh lagae
gito me rimajhim ras barasae
svar ki sadhana svar ki sadhana
parameshvar ki sur na saje

My notes are barren, what song can I weave?
My notes are barren, what song can I weave?
Without music, life's a desolate plea,
Without music, life's a desolate plea,
My notes are barren, what song can I weave?
My notes are barren.

My life burns, consuming all light,
My life burns, consuming all light,
This night has no dawn, only endless dark,
This night has no dawn, only endless dark,
My notes are barren.

Both worlds forsake, their hearts turn away,
Both worlds forsake, their hearts turn away,
Without you, my song's a deceptive display,
Without you, my song's a deceptive display,
My notes are barren.

The riverbank whispers a melody's strain,
The riverbank whispers a melody's strain,
Where are you, my love? The cuckoo calls in vain,
Where are you, my love? The cuckoo calls in vain,
My notes are barren.

Music gifts wings to the yearning soul,
Music gifts wings to the yearning soul,
Rains of nectar in the song take hold,
Rains of nectar in the song take hold,
The quest for sound, the quest for sound,
The divine's song... My notes are barren.
