meri dam bhar na papan aankh lagi
mai to raja ji sagri rain jagi
meri dam bhar na papan aankh lagi
mai to raja ji sagri rain jagi

kab tare jage kab tare bujhe
kab tare jage kab tare bujhe
tum aaye na sare ke sare bujhe
kaisi kaisi haay
kaisi kaisi karejwaa maar lagi
mai to raja ji sagri rain jagi
meri dam bhar na
meri dam bhar na papan aankh lagi
mai to raja ji sagri rain jagi

sari dunia to nindiya me soti rahi
mai to shabnam ke sang sang roti rahi
sari dunia to nindiya me soti rahi
mai to shabnam ke sang sang roti rahi
meri ankhiyan se haye
meri ankhiyan se aasuwan dhar lagi
mai to raja ji sagri rain jagi

sej phulo ki piya bin nagan bani
bairi chanda chandaniya sautan bani
sej phulo ki piya bin nagan bani
bairi chanda chandaniya sautan bani
thandi thandi haay
thandi thandi hawa angaar lagi
mai to raja ji sagri rain jagi
meri dam bhar na
meri dam bhar na papan aankh lagi
mai to raja ji sagri rain jagi

My eyes, a moment's slumber denied,
My King, the whole night I stayed awake beside.
My eyes, a moment's slumber denied,
My King, the whole night I stayed awake beside.

When stars arose, when stars did fade,
When stars arose, when stars did fade,
You came not, and all the heavens swayed.
What pain, oh what,
What grief, a dagger in my heart's core laid,
My King, the whole night I stayed awake beside.
My eyes, a moment's slumber denied,
My King, the whole night I stayed awake beside.

The world in slumber, softly sighed,
While I with dew, in tears, did confide.
The world in slumber, softly sighed,
While I with dew, in tears, did confide.
From my eyes, oh,
From my eyes, a river of tears did glide,
My King, the whole night I stayed awake beside.

My bed of blooms, without you, a serpent's bite,
The moon, my foe, the moonlight, jealous light.
My bed of blooms, without you, a serpent's bite,
The moon, my foe, the moonlight, jealous light.
The cool, oh the cool,
The cool breeze, a burning coal alight,
My King, the whole night I stayed awake beside.
My eyes, a moment's slumber denied,
My King, the whole night I stayed awake beside.
