sakhi mohe neend na aaye ho
sakhi mohe neend na aaye ho
sakhi mohe neend na aaye ho
piya ko panth niharat naina
piya ko panth niharat naina
rain bitaye ho neend na aaye ho
sakhi mohe neend na aaye ho

bin dekhe kal nahi parat jiyara ghabraye ho
bin dekhe kal nahi parat jiyara ghabraye ho
ang ang byakul bhaye man piya piya gaaye ho
sakhi mohe neend na aaye ho
sakhi mohe neend na aaye ho

antarvedna virah ki koi paar na paye ho
antarvedna virah ki koi paar na paye ho
mira byakul birhin sudh budh visraye ho
sakhi mohe neend na aaye ho
sakhi mohe neend na aaye ho

My friend, sleep escapes me so,
My friend, sleep escapes me so.
My eyes, they watch the path for him,
My eyes, they watch the path for him.
Night descends, sleep won't come near,
My friend, sleep escapes me so.

Without his face, my heart knows no peace,
Without his face, my heart knows no peace.
Each limb is restless, my soul sings his name,
My friend, sleep escapes me so,
My friend, sleep escapes me so.

The wound within, the parting's ache,
No shore can be found, no end to take.
Meera, consumed, a heart in pain,
Lost to the world, again, again,
My friend, sleep escapes me so,
My friend, sleep escapes me so.
