aake karu main pukar re mora dard na jane koi
sajan tose milna kis din hoye
tarsat naina hamar re tarsat naina hamar re
mora manwa dhiraj khoye gori
tose milna kis din hoye

kisko sunau main apni kahani
dekh rahi hai najuk ye suhani
reetu ye suhani aaj milan kyo haar re
aaj milan kyo haar re
man geet ke deepak sajoy
sajan tose milna kis din hoye

My plea ascends, a silent cry,
None understand the pain I bear.
When, O Beloved, shall I spy
The dawn of meeting, banish care?
My eyes are thirsty, evermore,
My heart's lost all its patient grace.
My love, when shall we reach the shore?
When shall I see your radiant face?

To whom shall I unfold my plight?
This fragile beauty watches on.
Why does this season, bathed in light,
Refuse the joy of union's dawn?
Today, why falter, love's bright art?
My soul, with songs, a lamp prepares.
My love, when shall we meet, depart
From shadows, ending all my cares?
