sakhi kaise dharu main dhir
ho sakhi kaise dharu main dhir
haay re mere ab lo shaam na aaye
ri bahe naino se nis din nir
haay re mere ab lo shaam na aaye
ri sakhi kaise dharu main dhir

ghir ghir shaam ghata leharaaye
bedardi ki yaad dilaaye
un bin murli kaun sunaaye
un bin murli kaun sunaaye
ri thaari rou main jamuna ke tir
haay re mere ab lo shaam na aaye
ri sakhi kaise dharu main dhir

ji na kare, jogan ban jaau
jaise bane unhe dhundh ke laau
vo na mile to biraj me na aau
vo na mile to biraj me na aau
kahi raste me taj du sharir
haay re mere ab lo shaam na aaye
ri bahe naino se nis din nir
haay re mere ab lo shaam na aaye
ri sakhi kaise dharu main dhir

How can I find solace, friend,
How can I find solace, friend?
Alas, my evening never comes,
Tears flow, a river without end.
Alas, my evening never comes,
Oh, friend, how can I find solace?

Shadows gather, the twilight sighs,
Recalling the heartless one's guise.
Who will play the flute's sweet cries?
Who will play the flute's sweet cries?
By the river's edge, I weep and tire.
Alas, my evening never comes,
Oh, friend, how can I find solace?

My spirit yearns, a yogini's plight,
To seek and find him, shining light.
If he's not found, I'll shun the height,
If he's not found, I'll shun the height,
And leave my body on the pyre.
Alas, my evening never comes,
Tears flow, a river without end.
Alas, my evening never comes,
Oh, friend, how can I find solace?
