o tim ka tima timbha
o tim ka tima timbha taare kare achambha

us paar saajan is paar dhaare
le chal o maanjhi kinare kinare, le chal o maanjhi kinare
o kodiya kodiya kavlani kavalani

dur yaha se gaanv piya ka, dur yaha se gaanv piya ka
haal na puchhe koi jiya ka, haal na puchhe koi jiya ka
gahara saagar aur main akeli sujhe na koi sahare sahare
le chal o maanjhi kinaare, o tim ka tima timbha timbha

lahare dekhu dil laharaye, lahare dekhu dil laharaye
jal darpan me pi muskaye, jal darpan me pi muskaye
pyasi ankhiyan dono ye sakhiya hardam kare hai ishare ishare
le chal o maanjhi kinare
us paar saajan is paar dhaare
le chal o maanjhi kinare kinare, le chal o maanjhi kinare
o tim ka tima timbha taare kare achambha

O shimmer of stars, a wonder unfolds,
O shimmer of stars.
O shimmer of stars, a wonder unfolds,
O shimmer of stars.

On that shore, my Beloved, on this shore I yearn,
Ferry me, O boatman, to the edges, ferry me.
On that shore, my Beloved, on this shore I yearn,
Ferry me, O boatman, to the edges, ferry me.
O shells, shells, lotus blooms, lotus blooms,
O shells, shells, lotus blooms, lotus blooms.

Far from here, lies my Beloved's village,
Far from here, lies my Beloved's village.
No one asks of my heart's plight,
No one asks of my heart's plight.
A deep ocean, and I, alone, no comfort appears,
Ferry me, O boatman,
O shimmer of stars.

I watch the waves, my heart takes flight,
I watch the waves, my heart takes flight.
In the water's mirror, I see my Beloved smile,
In the water's mirror, I see my Beloved smile.
Thirsty eyes, these two friends, forever beckon,
Ferry me, O boatman.
On that shore, my Beloved, on this shore I yearn,
Ferry me, O boatman, to the edges, ferry me.
O shimmer of stars, a wonder unfolds,
O shimmer of stars.
O shimmer of stars, a wonder unfolds,
O shimmer of stars.
O shimmer of stars, a wonder unfolds,
O shimmer of stars.
