bag ko sicha tha hamne
aankho ke khare pani se
us bag me sundar sapno ki
aasha ki komal khili kali
andhiyare ghar me jyot jali jyot jali
jagmag jagmag man nagri ki gali gali
andhiyare ghar me jyot jali jyot jali

aankho ke dulare rajdulare mohan pyare
kaha chupa re kaha chupa
kaha chupa mora shyam salona
dhundti firi mai kona kona
jaha bhi ho tu dekh nakari
khoj khoj teri maa hari
aisi thitholi nahi bhali
andhiyare ghar me jyot jali jyot jali
andhiyare ghar me jyot jali jyot jali

mera lala badhe jaise sawan me bel
mera munna hase jaise
poonam ka chand mere man ka dular
mera jiwan singar mere gale ka har
mere sajan ki yad dda ddi dda ddi
lala lali lala lali lala lala lali lali
are aisi thitholi nahi bhali
andhiyare ghar me jyot jali jyot jali
andhiyare ghar me jyot jali jyot jali

We watered the garden,
With the salt of our eyes,
In that garden bloomed,
A tender bud of hope,
In the darkened home, a light ignited, a light ignited,
Glimmering, shimmering, in every lane of the mind's city,
In the darkened home, a light ignited, a light ignited.

My eyes' darling, my beloved, my Mohan,
Where are you hidden? Where are you hidden?
Where is my dark-skinned, graceful Shyam hidden?
I searched for you, corner to corner,
Wherever you may be, see my plight,
Your mother, weary from searching,
This jesting is not good,
In the darkened home, a light ignited, a light ignited,
In the darkened home, a light ignited, a light ignited.

My son grows like a vine in the monsoon,
My little one laughs as,
The full moon, my heart's affection,
The adornment of my life, the garland around my neck,
My beloved's memory, Dada Dadi Dada Dadi
Lala Lali Lala Lali Lala Lala Lali Lali
Oh, this jesting is not good,
In the darkened home, a light ignited, a light ignited,
In the darkened home, a light ignited, a light ignited.
