kya hai is bansuriya me jo mujhme nahi sawariya
kabhi hotho se mujhe bhi laga le
bansuri banaike ho bansuri banaike
bansuri banaike ho bansuri banaike mai to gau
ho mai to gau tere geet mere mit sare jag ko bhulaike
kabhi hotho se mujhe bhi laga le
bansuri banaike ho bansuri banaike
bansuri banaike ho bansuri banaike

tore sang neha laga tore rang nachi
tore sang neha laga tore rang nachi
ban ban dware dware firu mai mati
tujhme hi tujhme hi sama gayi mai tere pas aaike
kabhi hotho se mujhe bhi laga le
bansuri banaike ho bansuri banaike
bansuri banaike ho bansuri banaike

sara jug jan gaya radha bhai sham ki
sara jug jan gaya radha bhai sham ki
chede tera nam leke sakhiya sari gaav ki
ho saiya tune saiya tune sudh na li bawri banaike
kabhi hotho se mujhe bhi laga le
bansuri banaike ho bansuri banaike
bansuri banaike ho bansuri banaike

What whispers within your flute, beloved, that does not reside in me?
Grant me, too, the touch of your lips,
Having fashioned a flute, oh, having fashioned a flute,
Having fashioned a flute, oh, having fashioned a flute, I yearn to sing,
Oh, I yearn to sing your songs, my friend, forgetting the world entirely.
Grant me, too, the touch of your lips,
Having fashioned a flute, oh, having fashioned a flute,
Having fashioned a flute, oh, having fashioned a flute.

With you, love bloomed, in your colours, I dance,
With you, love bloomed, in your colours, I dance,
Wandering through forests and doorways, a humble dust I become.
Within you, within you, I dissolved, drawn near to you.
Grant me, too, the touch of your lips,
Having fashioned a flute, oh, having fashioned a flute,
Having fashioned a flute, oh, having fashioned a flute.

The entire world knows Radha belongs to Shyam,
The entire world knows Radha belongs to Shyam,
Your name they chant, my companions, the village girls all.
Oh, Beloved, you, oh, Beloved, you took no heed, creating a madwoman,
Grant me, too, the touch of your lips,
Having fashioned a flute, oh, having fashioned a flute,
Having fashioned a flute, oh, having fashioned a flute.
