maiya mere bhaiya na aaye ri
kahe mere bhaiya na aaye ri
ke bhiya bina o
ke bhaiya bina mayya meri suni
kon ruthaye ri
mayya mere bhiya ni aye ri

aise wida hai bahna na koi
dub gaya dil ankh yu royi
bhula ke
bhula ke aise bahan ko bhai
o kahe rulaye ri
mayya meri bhaiya na aaye ri

khoya kaha tha deepak wo tera
jiske bina ghar angana andhera
andhere tere
andhere tere angana me deepak
kahe jalaye ri
mayya meri bhaiya na aaye ri

My mother, my brother has not come, oh
Why has my brother not come, tell me?
Without my brother, oh
Without my brother, my mother, my world is empty,
Who has angered him, who?
My mother, my brother has not come, oh

Such a farewell, a sister has none,
My heart drowned, my eyes did weep.
Forgetting, forgetting his sister so, brother,
Why does he make me cry, why?
My mother, my brother has not come, oh

Where was that lamp of yours lost?
Without which, home and courtyard are dark.
In the darkness, in your darkness, oh,
Why does he not light the lamp?
My mother, my brother has not come, oh
