janam janam ke liye
prit ki bandhi thi dor jinse
dhai ahar prem ke phir bhi
kabahu na bole unse
kabahu na bole unse

piya mose ruth gaye re
piya mose ruth gaye re
kaun jatan kar kaise manau
kaun jatan kar kaise manau
sujat kachhu nahi mohe
piya mose ruth gaye re
piya mose ruth gaye re

de bhi to de jiya kiski duhai
mai hi dard ki fasal ugai
haay re de bhi to de jiya kiski duhaai
mai hi dard ki fasal ugai
beej bhi reh ke boye
piya mose ruth gaye re
piya mose ruth gaye re

karta raha mora man manmani
unke to man ki peer na jani
haay karta raha mora man manmani
unke to man ki peer na jaani
pare ke fal sab khoye
haay piya mose ruth gaye re
piya mose ruth gaye re

For lives unending,
A spectral thread, I swore,
Bound me to shadows.
Yet, love's two and a half letters,
Never crossed my lips to them.
Never crossed my lips.

My beloved, angered,
My beloved, turned away.
What magic, what art, can reconcile?
What measures can I take?
No wisdom rises in me.
My beloved, angered,
My beloved, turned away.

My heart, it wandered, willful,
Ignorant of their soul's ache.
Alas, my heart, it wandered, willful,
Unknowing of their suffering.
All blessings, cast aside.
Alas, my beloved, angered,
My beloved, turned away.
