aaye dasi prem ki pyasi
darsan do more kanha
darsan do more sham
aaye dasi prem ki pyasi
darsan do more sham

oh sham re darsan do more sham
man me preet tumari oh more girdhari
chhod ke tumari chhaya jaye kaha dukh hari
aaye dasi prem ki pyasi
darsan do more sham

darsan do more sham
oh sham re darsan do more sham
sun le jag ke data
dukh e saha nhi jata

chhod ke aapne paraye
jodha tum se nata
aaye dasi prem ki pyasi
darsan do more sham

darsan do more sham
oh sham re darsan do more sham

A handmaiden comes, thirsting for love,
Grant me your vision, O Kanha,
Show me your face, O Shyam.
A handmaiden comes, thirsting for love,
Show me your face, O Shyam.

O Shyam, show me your face, O Shyam,
My heart is filled with love for you, O Giridhari,
Leaving your shadow, where can the sorrowing go?
A handmaiden comes, thirsting for love,
Show me your face, O Shyam.

Show me your face, O Shyam,
O Shyam, show me your face, O Shyam,
Listen, giver of the world,
This grief, it cannot be borne.

Leaving all others,
I have bound my ties to you,
A handmaiden comes, thirsting for love,
Show me your face, O Shyam,
Show me your face, O Shyam,
O Shyam, show me your face, O Shyam.
