nidra me kisne yaad kiyo re
nidra me kisne yaad kiyo re, jagaye sari raina re
piya jagave, jiya jagave, diya jagave re
aave re hichki, aave re hichki, aave re hichki
hich aave re hichki, aave re hichki, aave re hichki
sandesha aayo na, chitthiya bhi jaayi
savan me sukhe naina re
talaiya sukhi, kikhad sukha, bhitar sukha re
aave re hichki, aave re hichki, aave re hichki

dhup mundhere chadh gayo dhola, jal gayo saari chhav re
aangan paar karu main kaise, talve jale mere panv ke
talaiya sukhi, kikhad sukha, bhitar sukha re
aave re hichki, aave re hichki, aave re hichki

o meri janniya re sham dhale jo
chand chadhe toh phir na rulaiyo re, o meri janniya re
meri jaan ki saugandh hai yaad na aaiyo re
o piya jagaave, jiya jagave, diya jagave re
talaiya sukhi, kikhad sukha, bhitar sukha re

janniya o janniya mann tarse, ghan barse
mann tarse, ghan barse re
mann tarse tarse, ghan barse barse
barse mann ghan barse re
o mann tarse, ghan barse, badri sune na re
talaiya sukhi, kikhad sukha, bhitar sukha re
aave re hichki, aave re hichki, aave re hichki
hichki aave re, hich hichki aave re, hichki aave re
aave re, aave re, aave re hichki, aave re hichki
jagaye sari raina re, talaiya kikhad, bhitar sukha re

Who called me in slumber's hold?
Who called, awakening the night's cold?
My love awakens, my soul awakens, the lamp ignites,
Hiccups rise, a ceaseless tide.
No message arrives, no letters descend,
In the monsoon, my eyes are dry.
The pond is parched, the well is dust, within, all is dry.
Hiccups rise, a ceaseless tide.

The sun climbed the wall, my love, consumed the shade,
Burning my soles upon the courtyard of my love.
The pond is parched, the well is dust, within, all is dry.
Hiccups rise, a ceaseless tide.

O my beloved, as twilight falls,
When the moon ascends, do not weep for me, my love,
By the oath of my soul, do not remember me,
O love awakens, my soul awakens, the lamp ignites,
The pond is parched, the well is dust, within, all is dry.

Beloved, oh beloved, the heart thirsts, the clouds pour,
The heart thirsts, the clouds pour,
The heart thirsts and thirsts, the clouds pour and pour,
Pour, heart, pour, clouds pour,
O heart thirsts, the clouds pour, the heavens do not hear,
The pond is parched, the well is dust, within, all is dry.
Hiccups rise, a ceaseless tide.
Hiccups rise, the hiccups come, the hiccups rise,
Rise, rise, rise, the hiccups rise, the hiccups rise,
Awakening the night, the pond, the well, within, all is dry.
