bich bhanwar se nikli hai naiya
bich bhanwar se nikli hai naiya
ojha kinara ha ojha kinara gahri talaiya
bich bhanwar se nikli hai naiya
ojha kinara ha ojha kinara gahri talaiya
bich bhanwar se nikli hai naiya
bich bhanwar se nikli hai naiya

do tuk laga, do tuk laga besahara hai hum
begani khushi humara hai gham
phir achanak ummed jhilmilayi
subah ne fir bhairavi gungunayi
ab mere geet bane hai khiwaiya
ab mere geet bane hai khiwaiya
bich bhanwar se nikli hai naiya

tute sapno par rona kaisa
tute sapno par rona kaisa
jo mile nahi wo khona kaisa
kaahe birha ki agni me tapna
ek tu hi to hai bas apna
meera ka bhi to hai kanhaiya
meera ka bhi to hai kanhaiya
ojha kinara gahri talaiya
ojha kinara gahri talaiya
bich bhanwar se nikli hai naiya
bich bhanwar se nikli hai naiya

From the heart of the storm, the boat emerges,
From the heart of the storm, the boat emerges,
A phantom shore, yes, a phantom shore, deep waters remain,
From the heart of the storm, the boat emerges,
A phantom shore, yes, a phantom shore, deep waters remain,
From the heart of the storm, the boat emerges,
From the heart of the storm, the boat emerges.

Two pieces broken, two pieces adrift, we are forlorn,
Another's joy, our sorrow is born,
Then suddenly, hope flickered and gleamed,
The morning again, the Bhairavi dreamed,
Now my songs become the boatmen,
Now my songs become the boatmen,
From the heart of the storm, the boat emerges.

Why weep for dreams that have shattered,
Why weep for dreams that have shattered,
For what is lost, why should we be scattered?
Why burn in the fire of separation,
You alone are my destination,
Mira's Krishna, her only way,
Mira's Krishna, her only way,
A phantom shore, deep waters remain,
A phantom shore, deep waters remain,
From the heart of the storm, the boat emerges,
From the heart of the storm, the boat emerges.
