koyi dur, bajaye bansuri

koyi dur, bajaye bansuri
chhede dil ke taar, raat hai milne ki
koyi dur, bajaye bansuri
chhede dil ke taar, raat hai milne ki
jaagu ab tak, mai bawari
soye sab sansar, raat hai milne ki
jaagu ab tak, mai bawari
soye sab sansar, raat hai milne ki

tan ki sudh bisraye
tan ki sudh bisraye
more man ka chain churaye
more man ka chain churaye
saajan re, ye bairan man ke soye dard jagaye
soye dard jagaye
tarsaye sukh ki chandani
tadpe ghayal pyar, raat hai milne ki

jo saajan ke paas hain
jo saajan ke paas hain
unko ye rut sheetal laage
unko ye rut sheetal laage
jiska preetam bichhad gaya wo
na soye na jaage
na soye na jaage
chhalke nainan ki gaagri
man se uthe pukar, raat hai milne ki
koyi dur, bajaye bansuri
chhede dil ke taar, raat hai milne ki
koyi dur, bajaye bansuri

A faraway flute sighs,
A faraway flute sighs,
Strums the heart's strings, this night of reunion.
A faraway flute sighs,
Strums the heart's strings, this night of reunion.
I, still awake, a madwoman,
While all the world sleeps, this night of reunion.
I, still awake, a madwoman,
While all the world sleeps, this night of reunion.

Forgetting the body's call,
Forgetting the body's call,
Stealing the peace of my mind,
Stealing the peace of my mind,
Lover mine, this wicked heart awakens sleeping pain,
Awakens sleeping pain,
Denies the moonlit bliss,
This wounded love yearns, this night of reunion.

Those near their beloved,
Those near their beloved,
Find this season cool and gentle,
Find this season cool and gentle,
But she whose love has departed,
Neither sleeps nor wakes,
Neither sleeps nor wakes,
Overflowing the pitcher of my eyes,
From the heart arises a cry, this night of reunion.
A faraway flute sighs,
Strums the heart's strings, this night of reunion.
A faraway flute sighs.
