kaise din bite, kaise biti ratiya piya jane na
kaise din bite, kaise biti ratiya piya jane na

neha laga ke mai pachhatayi
neha laga ke mai pachhatayi
sari sari raina nindiya na aayi
jan ke dekho mere ji ki batiya, piya jane na
kaise din bite, kaise biti ratiya piya jane na

rut matwali aake chali jaye
rut matwali aake chali jaye
mann me hi mere mann ki rahi jaye
khilne ko tarse nanhi nanhi kaliya, piya jane na
kaise din bite, kaise biti ratiya piya jane na

kajra na sohe, gajra na sohe
kajra na sohe, gajra na sohe
barakha na bhaye, badra na sohe
barakha na bhaye, badra na sohe
kya kahu jo puchhe mose mori sakhiya, piya jane na
kaise din bite, kaise biti ratiya piya jane na

How the days have passed, how the nights have gone, my love knows not.
How the days have passed, how the nights have gone, my love knows not.

For this love I now repent,
For this love I now repent,
The whole long night, sleep won't descend.
If you listen to the heart's true talk, my love knows not.
How the days have passed, how the nights have gone, my love knows not.

The intoxicating season comes and goes,
The intoxicating season comes and goes,
My heart's desires within it grows.
The tiny buds long for the bloom, my love knows not.
How the days have passed, how the nights have gone, my love knows not.

Kohl is no adornment, nor the garland's grace,
Kohl is no adornment, nor the garland's grace,
Rain's a torment, the clouds I can't embrace.
What can I say to my friends, if they ask the case, my love knows not.
How the days have passed, how the nights have gone, my love knows not.
