piya milane naveli nadi jaaye re
main akela chala dard dabaaye re
jiya mein liye haay re

kaale baadal ghumad ghir aaye re
naache mor man-mor ghabaraaye re
chum kaliyon ko bhanvara git gaaye re
na aaj saha jaaye re

lata pedon se lipat laharaaye re
dekh-dekh ke umang lalachaaye re
mujhe chaaron or suna dikhalaaye re
kisi ki yaad aaye re

To meet my love, a river newly flows,
Alone I journey, bearing silent woes.
My heart it aches, it sighs, and knows.

Black clouds now gather, swirling, deep,
The peacock dances, secrets to keep.
The heart-peacock falters, anxieties leap,
The bee caresses buds, a song to weep,
This pain, today, I cannot sleep.

Vines embrace the trees in wild delight,
Their tangled dance, a thrilling sight.
They watch, they yearn, with all their might,
But only emptiness fills my sight.
A memory, in shadows, takes flight.
