sun mere sajan ab teri dulhan
kal jitni nadan nahi
khadi hai pujharan, daras bhikharan
mandir hai bhagwan nahi

o dasti tanhayio
pee se jake ye kaho
o dasti tanhayio
pee se jake ye kaho
unse dur jake mai to
ghabara gayi, lo mai yahi
phir yahi aa gayi
lo mai yahi, phir yahi aa gayi

My love, my beloved, your bride now stands,
No longer the innocent, callow hand.
A devotee I am, a beggar for sight,
The temple is here, but God takes flight.

Oh, the loneliness stings, a viper's kiss,
Go, whisper this to my love, speak of this.
Oh, the loneliness stings, so sharp and deep,
Go, tell him this secret I long to keep.

Far from his presence, fear took its hold,
I trembled, I faltered, my story told.
And here I returned, to this familiar space,
Yes, here I have come, back to this place.
