ghunghat daal sej par sajni
ghunghat daal sej par sajni
sajan raat ma aaye
bhor bhai munh khol padi hai
bhor bhai munh khol padi hai
sajan ab na suhaye
ghunghat daal sej par sajni
sajan raat na aaye
bhor bhai munh khol padi hai
sajan ab na suhaye

kar singaar laaz ka pahra
sajan se na boli
kar singaar laaz ka pahra
sajan se na boli
aankh me aansu bikhri bindiya
le chal wapas doli
waqt gaya fir na aave
waqt gaya fir na aave
koi lakh manaye
ghunghat daal sej par sajni
sajan raat na aaye

sajan sajni pritam pyari
prem ibadat dekho
sajan sajni pritam pyari
prem ibadat dekho
samay samay par samay na hove
aave na chokho
daas narayan jhuntha pritam
daas narayan jhuntha pritam
saai man ko bhay
ghunghat daal sej par sajni
sajan raat na aaye
bhor bhai munh khol padi hai
sajan ab na suhaye
ghunghat daal sej par sajni

Veiled, upon the silent bed, my love,
veiled, my love,
the Beloved does not come.
Dawn breaks, my face laid bare,
dawn breaks, my face laid bare,
the Beloved no longer charms.
Veiled, upon the silent bed, my love,
the Beloved does not come.

Adorned in the fortress of shame,
I spoke not to my love.
Adorned in the fortress of shame,
I spoke not to my love.
Tears, scattered like bindis in my eyes,
take me back to the palanquin.
Time has passed, it will not return,
time has passed, it will not return,
though a thousand entreat.
Veiled, upon the silent bed, my love,
the Beloved does not come.

Beloved, lover, sweetest one,
behold the prayer of love.
Beloved, lover, sweetest one,
behold the prayer of love.
Time and season, they wait for none,
the auspicious moment never stays.
Servant Narayan speaks of false loves,
servant Narayan speaks of false loves,
only the Divine pleases the heart.
Veiled, upon the silent bed, my love,
the Beloved does not come.
Dawn breaks, my face laid bare,
the Beloved no longer charms.
Veiled, upon the silent bed, my love.
