o mere kanhaiya mere shaam salone tujhe
dekhu to ankhiyon ke pyaas bujhe
andhiyare mein tu hi pyar ki jyoti
ab tu hi sahara teri aas mujhe
o mere kanhaiya mere shaam salone

tu ruthe ho rain andhere, bhor khile muskaan pe tere
tu ruthe ho rain andhere, bhor khile muskaan pe tere
raat din ke phere khel hai ye tere
ho chaand suraj tere aage jhuke
o mere kanhaiya mere shaam salone tujhe
dekhu to ankhiyon ke pyaas bujhe
o mere kanhaiya mere shaam salone

jab dekhu main rup me tere, sukh dukh mein tu sath hai mere
tu hi dhan hai mera, aasra hai tera
duniya main bhulu par naa bhulu tujhe
o mere kanhaiya mere shaam salone tujhe
dekhu to ankhiyon ke pyaas bujhe
o mere kanhaiya mere shaam salone

Oh, my Krishna, my dark, sweet dusk,
To gaze on you, my eyes find thirst's release.
In shadows deep, you are love's own light,
My sole support, in you, my hope finds peace.
Oh, my Krishna, my dark, sweet dusk.

If you should turn, the night descends,
But dawn unfurls upon your smile's grace.
If you should turn, the night descends,
But dawn unfurls upon your smile's grace.
Day and night's dance, a game you play,
The moon and sun bow low to your embrace.
Oh, my Krishna, my dark, sweet dusk,
To gaze on you, my eyes find thirst's release.
Oh, my Krishna, my dark, sweet dusk.

When I see your form, my soul takes flight,
Through joy and sorrow, you're always near.
You are my wealth, my only guide,
The world I'll forget, but you, I hold dear.
Oh, my Krishna, my dark, sweet dusk,
To gaze on you, my eyes find thirst's release.
Oh, my Krishna, my dark, sweet dusk.
