chah bhawar trishna nind aaye na
sunya hai savendana ye yantanrna nind aaye na
dhul ban ud jaye or disha na paye
chah bhawar trishna nind aaye na

parshan ban hota khada kal ko vayvhar
karodh kam pad jaye mukti na mil paye
chah bhawar trishna nind aaye na

man ho sankit soch ka hai kaha aadhar
santulan kho jaaye or bikharta jave
chah bhawar trishna nind aaye na

Desire's whirlpool, thirst's deep ache, sleep flees,
Emptiness, a hollow touch, this torment, sleep flees.
Dust I become, scattered, lost to sight,
Desire's whirlpool, thirst's deep ache, sleep flees.

A question posed, time's cruel decree,
Anger shrinks, no freedom to embrace,
Desire's whirlpool, thirst's deep ache, sleep flees.

The mind, a tremor, thought's foundation frail,
Balance lost, I shatter and descend,
Desire's whirlpool, thirst's deep ache, sleep flees.
