pushp veni gunj rahi upahaar laya hai
pushp veni gunj rahi upahaar laya hai
ghanshyam aaya ri hamare ghar shyam aaya ri

aaj ghunghat me chhipi hu milan bela me
aaj ghunghat me chhipi hu milan bela me
maan aag kaise karu malhar laya ri
ghanshyam aaya ri mere ghar shyam aaya ri

in phulo me preet bhar ke wo thumakta aaya
in phulo me preet bhar ke wo thumakta aaya
nain chupke mur kar mujhko rijhaaya ri

nirakhta mujhko nirantar nayan bharta hai
warmala laya ri mere ghar shyam aaya ri
ghanshyam aaya ri mere ghar shyam aaya ri

Dark cloud has come, my home, Shyam has come,

Upon his lips, a song, in hand, a flute,
Upon his lips, a song, in hand, a flute,
A garland of flowers, echoing, a gift he brings,
A garland of flowers, echoing, a gift he brings,
Dark cloud has come, our home, Shyam has come,
Dark cloud has come, our home, Shyam has come.

Veiled I hide, in this hour of union,
Veiled I hide, in this hour of union,
How can I tame this fire, a raga of love he brings,
How can I tame this fire, a raga of love he brings,
Dark cloud has come, my home, Shyam has come.

In these blooms, he fills love, and dances,
In these blooms, he fills love, and dances,
Eyes hidden, he enchants, and captivates me,
Eyes hidden, he enchants, and captivates me,
Dark cloud has come, our home, Shyam has come.

To weave the dance, my love prepares me,
To weave the dance, my love prepares me,
Gazing at me, always, with eyes overflowing,
A garland he brings, my home, Shyam has come,
Dark cloud has come, my home, Shyam has come.
