he vo gye balam vo gye vo gye nadiya pani
he aap tmari utar gye hum to rhe majdhar
ha han re gahri nadiya ha han re gahari nadiyan
naiya jhjhri door kinara naiya jhjhri door kinara
us par sajan hamara re gahari nadiya

He, my beloved, he has gone, he has gone,
like water flowing to the river's heart.
You have crossed, you are safe, on the far shore,
while I remain adrift, midstream, torn apart.

Oh, deep river, yes, oh, deep river,
my vessel frail, the shore so far away,
my lover waits, upon that distant strand,
oh, deep river, where my heart must stay.
