raat piya ke sang jaagi re sakhi
raat piya ke sang jaagi re sakhi
chain pada jo aang laagi re sakhi
chain pada jo aang laagi re sakhi
raat piya ke sang

saiya ji ne jaado phera
saiya ji ne jaado phera, baho ka dala ghera
karke zara andhera, achra jo khecha mera
god piya ki tang laagi re sakhi
god piya ki tang laagi re sakhi
chain pada jo aang laagi re sakhi
raat piya ke sang jaagi re sakhi

saiya ji ne daka dala
saiya ji ne daka dala, uljha lato me bala
bikhri gale ki mala, aah! bhadki badan ki jawala
dehdhanush rang laagi re sakhi
dehdhanush rang laagi re sakhi
chain pada jo aang laagi re sakhi
raat piya ke sang jaagi re sakhi

gajra suhana tuta
gajra suhana tuta, kajra nayan ka chuta
sab tan bhaya re jhuta, jitna sataya luta
aur bhi baake aang laagi re sakhi
aur bhi baake aang laagi re sakhi
tan ki chupi tarang jaagi re sakhi
tan ki chupi tarang jaagi re sakhi
chain pada jo aang laagi re sakhi
chain pada jo aang laagi re sakhi

With my Beloved, the night did awaken, O friend,
With my Beloved, the night did awaken, O friend,
Peace descended as His touch did blend.
Peace descended as His touch did blend,
With my Beloved, the night.

My Love, He cast a spell so deep,
My Love, He cast a spell so deep, with arms around, a slumber to keep.
The world grew dim, secrets to reap,
He drew my veil, secrets to keep.
In His lap, a breathless leap,
In His lap, a breathless leap,
Peace descended as His touch did blend,
With my Beloved, the night did awaken, O friend.

My Love, He raided, a blessed theft,
My Love, He raided, a blessed theft, in tresses, a mischievous cleft.
The garland broke, a fragrant deft,
Ah! The body, a burning bereft.
The bow of flesh, in colors left,
The bow of flesh, in colors left,
Peace descended as His touch did blend,
With my Beloved, the night did awaken, O friend.

The lovely garland, now undone,
The lovely garland, now undone, kohl from my eyes, the chase had begun.
All the body, a fleeting sun,
All the body, a fleeting sun, the pain, the loss, the rapture won.
Still more, His form, a tender run,
Still more, His form, a tender run,
My hidden waves, their course begun,
My hidden waves, their course begun,
Peace descended as His touch did blend,
Peace descended as His touch did blend.
