o shyam baba kyu tere bhakt dukhari re
o shyam baba kyu tere bhakt dukhari re

bin phal ke jo vrish na sohe

bin balak kyu nari re
o shyam baba kyu tere bhakt dukhari re
o shyam baba kyu tere bhakt dukhari re

shyam sunder ne khush hokar
tujhe apna rup diya hai
tujhe apna rup diya hai
tujhe apna rup diya hai
aur humne us rup ka
darshan sau sau baar kiya hai
darshan sau sau baar kiya hai
darshan sau sau baar kiya hai
humre sankat dur na ho to
humre sankat dur na ho to
ye badnami thari re
o shyam baba kyu tere bhakt dukhari re
o shyam baba kyu tere bhakt dukhari re

o shyam baba kyu tere bhakt dukhari re
o shyam baba kyu tere bhakt dukhari re

o jab tak aasha ho na puran
dar se hum na hatenge
dar se hum na hatenge
dar se hum na hatenge
o sab bhakto ko bahka denge
hum bhi naam na lenge
natwar tera naam na lenge
girdhar tera naam na lenge
soch le tu bhakto ka palda
soch le tu bhakto ka palda
sada raha hai bhari re
shyam baba shyam baba shyam baba

dani hokar tu chup baitha
ye kaisi datari re

Ho Re Ho

Dark Lord, Dark Lord, Dark Lord,
Bestower of gifts,
Silent you sit, a hidden hand,
What bounty is this, indeed?
Bestower of gifts, silent you sit,
What bounty is this, indeed?
Oh, Dark Lord, why are your devotees in pain?

As a tree without fruit is unseemly,
As a woman without child is incomplete,
Oh, Dark Lord, why are your devotees in pain?

Dark and Beautiful, you, in your joy,
Showed us your form,
And we, a hundred times over,
Have seen your blessed face.
If our sorrows do not cease,
Then your name shall be shamed,
Oh, Dark Lord, why are your devotees in pain?

I crave not jewels, nor silver, nor gold,
No silver, nor gold,
Oh, send to my courtyard, Lord, a child like you,
A child like you,
A child like you,
What care we for gardens and groves,
Where blossoms are not, or the flowers?
Oh, Dark Lord, why are your devotees in pain?

Until our hopes are fulfilled,
We will not leave your door,
We will mislead all your devotees,
And we will not sing your name,
We will not sing your name,
We will not sing your name,
Consider the plight of your devotees,
It has always been heavy, indeed.
Oh, Dark Lord, why are your devotees in pain?
Bestower of gifts, silent you sit,
What bounty is this, indeed?
Bestower of gifts, silent you sit,
What bounty is this, indeed?
Oh, Dark Lord, why are your devotees in pain?
Ho Re Ho
Dark Lord, Dark Lord, Dark Lord.
