phulo se meri sej sajao
aaj mai lungi janam dobara
chanda ki bindiya taaro ke kangan
sapno ke lao haar
saanso me meri kesar mahake
aango me jhume bahar
aisa karo singar sakhi ri
sudh budh shyam hamara

Adorn my bed with blossoms bright,
For rebirth claims me in the night.
Moon's teardrop, stars as bangles gleam,
A necklace woven from a dream.

Let saffron perfume my every breath,
As spring's embrace dances in my flesh.
Dress me so, my dearest friend,
That Shyam’s remembrance knows no end.
