o jag ke palanhaar tujhe kya ho gaya kyo so gaya
insaan fraiyaad kya du tu so gaya
o jag ke palanhaar tujhe kya ho gaya kyo so gaya
insaan fraiyaad

lok laaj ke karan jab se tav jami pe aayi
daya tere naino se chalke agni bhi sharmaayi
phul bani muskai
aaj kaha wo rut tumhara kho gaya kho gaya
insaan nahi fariyaad

meera ne jab dukh sankat me tera naam liya tha
giridhar naagar ban kar tumne darshan use diya tha
apna use kiya tha
aaj kaha wo naam tumhara kho gaya kho gaya
insaan nahi fariyaaad

bhari sabha me dropati ki tune laaj bachayi
nirdosho se kaahe ab tak tujhko daya na aayi
maalik teri judai
aaj kaha insaan tumhara kho gaya kho gaya
insaan kya du fraiyaad tu so gaya
o jag ke palanhaar tujhay kya ho gaya kyo so gaya
insaan nahi fariyaaad

O Keeper of Worlds, what has befallen Thee?
Why slumber deep?
No plea of man, just silent agony,
Why slumber deep?

When shame's hot hand first scorched the earth below,
Mercy in Thy eyes became a fiery glow,
And even flames, in gentle blush, did softly flow,
Where is Thy season gone?

When in despair, Meera called upon Thy name,
As Giridhar Nagar, Thou to her didst come, the same,
And made her Thine, a soul aflame,
Where is Thy name now gone?

In crowded halls, Thou saved Draupadi's grace,
Why now, from innocence, turn away Thy face?
Master, this gulf, this empty, desolate space,
Where is Thy human gone?

What plea can I offer? Thou art asleep.
O Keeper of Worlds, what has befallen Thee?
Why slumber deep?
No plea of man.
