mai to bar bar nachi rahe janam bhar dur dur
mai to karke pyar nachi mai to bar bar nachi
chand gagan me mai baithi aas me
chand gagan me mai baithi aas me
chandar mukut wale aayenge pas me
chandar mukut wale aayenge pas me
teri aas me sari rat jagi teri aas me sari rat jagi
kar singar nachi mai to bar bar nachi

mai khadi dwar pe deepak jalaye mai khadi dwar pe
mai khadi dwar pe deepak jalaye
sari umariya tum nahi aaye sari umariya tum nahi aaye
tum hi bich me rahe sada parbhu tum hi bich me rahe sada
mai to har har nachi mai to bar bar nachi
aise me kab tak nachti jau aise me kab tak nachti jau
gaake akele parbhu kisko sunau
gaake akele parbhu kisko sunau
nachna mere sath kabhi tum nachna mere sath kabhi tum
mai hazar baar nachi mai to bar bar nachi

All my life, I danced, forever apart,
I danced with love, I danced again and again.

Upon the sky, the moon, I sit in hope,
Upon the sky, the moon, I sit in hope,
He with the lunar crown will come to me,
He with the lunar crown will come to me,
Waiting for you, I kept vigil all night, waiting for you, I kept vigil all night,
Adorned, I danced, I danced again and again.

I stand at the door, with lamps alight, I stand at the door,
I stand at the door, with lamps alight,
All my life, you never came, all my life, you never came,
You are always within, my Lord, you are always within, my Lord,
I danced again and again, I danced again and again.

How long must I dance like this, how long must I dance like this,
Singing alone, to whom do I sing,
Singing alone, to whom do I sing,
Dance with me sometime, dance with me sometime,
I have danced a thousand times, I danced again and again.
