phariyaad suno prabhu meri
phariyaad suno prabhu meri
baadal barsh rahe hai duhkh ke
baadal barsh rahe hai duhkh ke
kyon man hote hai sukh ke
na jaane prabhu mainne ab tak dekhee ren andheree
phariyaad suno prabhu meri
phariyaad suno prabhu meri

ankhiya ro ro haar gayi
ankhiya ro ro haar gayi
khud kyon bair bisaar gayi
gaya karava dayaalu bhagavan
yaahe karoo ab teri
yaahe karoo ab teri
phariyaad suno prabhu meri
phariyaad suno prabhu meri

tere dvaar pe laakho aate
tere dvaar pe laakho aate
muh maanga baradaan vo paate
mainne prabhu kya tera bigaada
mainne prabhu kya tera bigaada
yah museebat gheri
kahe museebat gheri
phariyaad suno prabhu meri
phariyaad suno prabhu meri

tere ghar se khaalee jaoo
tere ghar se khaalee jaoo
aur kha mai maangan jaoo
aasha lekar aaee hu prabhu
aasha lekar aaee hu prabhu
bhar de jholee meri
bhar de jholee meri
phariyaad suno prabhu meri
phariyaad suno prabhu meri

Hearken now, my Lord, my plea,
Hearken now, my Lord, to me.
Clouds of sorrow weep and pour,
Clouds of sorrow evermore,
Why does joy no longer bloom?
Darkest nights now fill the room.
I have seen no sunny dawn,
Hearken now, my soul forlorn.
Hearken now, my Lord, my plea.

Tears have flowed, and eyes now tire,
Why does love now self-expire?
Merciful, compassionate,
Where do I now supplicate?
My heart, to you, now bows in prayer.
Hearken now, my Lord, my plea.

Millions seek your holy door,
Millions find what they implore.
Lord, what wrong have I committed?
Why am I now thus benighted?
Why this darkness, this despair?
Hearken now, my Lord, my prayer.
Hearken now, my Lord, my plea.

Shall I leave your house bereft?
Where can I now find my theft
Of hope, now lost, I come to you,
Hope I bring, now fresh and new,
Fill my empty hands, I pray.
Hearken now, my Lord, this day.
Hearken now, my Lord, my plea.
