jeevan ka tu ujiyara hai
rakhwala bansi wala hai
jeevan ka tu ujiyara hai
rakhwala bansi wala hai
he sanwariya more sanwariya

do nainan ke deep jala ke
do nainan ke deep jala ke
geet preet ke gaau main
geet preet ke gaau main
man ka mangal thaal saja kar
man ka mangal thaal saja kar
prem ka bhog chadhaaun
main prem ka bhog chadhaaun

main tera jeevan sathi hu
tu deepak hai main baati hu
main tera jeevan sathi hu
tu deepak hai main baati hu
sanwariya more sanwariya
tera mera sath purana
tera mera sath purana
janm janm ka nata mera
janm janm ka nata
pal pal tere geet rasile
pal pal tere geet rasile
kaan papiha gaata ho
kaan papiha gaata

main bijali hu tu badal hai
main naina hu tu kajal hai
main bijali hu tu badal hai
main naina hu tu kajal hai
na gariya more sanwariya
jeevan ka tu ujiyara hai
rakhwala bansi wala hai
he sanwariya more sanwariya

You, the dawn that graces life,
Shepherd, flute-player, in strife.
You, the dawn that graces life,
Shepherd, flute-player, in strife.
Oh, my dark-skinned one, my love.

Lighting lamps within my eyes,
Lighting lamps within my eyes,
I sing of love's sweet ties,
I sing of love's sweet ties.
Adorning my heart's vessel bright,
Adorning my heart's vessel bright,
Offering love's pure light,
Offering love's pure light.

I am your life's companion true,
You are the lamp, I the wick in view.
I am your life's companion true,
You are the lamp, I the wick in view.
My dark-skinned one, my love.
Our ancient bond, it shall not cease,
Our ancient bond, it shall not cease,
Through lifetimes, love's increase,
Through lifetimes, love's increase.
Each moment, your melodious song,
Each moment, your melodious song,
The cuckoo sings along,
The cuckoo sings along.

I am the lightning, you the cloud,
I am the eye, you the kohl endowed.
I am the lightning, you the cloud,
I am the eye, you the kohl endowed.
Oh, my dark-skinned one, my love.
You, the dawn that graces life,
Shepherd, flute-player, in strife.
Oh, my dark-skinned one, my love.
