mohe phir se hichki aayi
tohri yaad khenchti laayi
sajan dar laage, balam dar laage
akele mein, sajan dar laage akele mein

jeth gaye hain sair sapaate
ghar mein saasu bharen kharaate
jeth gaye hain sair sapaate
ghar mein saasu bharen kharaate
nanad ghaat par gayi dewariya
lene gaye bataate, haan lene gaye bataate
sasur ji more soyen
sasur ji more soyen tabele mein
sasur ji more soyen tabele mein
sajan dar laage, balam dar laage
sajan dar laage, ho balam dar laage akele mein

soona mora aangan haaye
saawan aaya tum na aaye
soona mora aangan haaye
saawan aaya tum na aaye
tadpun main din raat bedardi
aaja ji ghabraaye hoy aaja ji ghabraaye
padi main daiyya haaye
padi main daiyya kaise jhamele mein
padi main daiyya kaise jhamele mein
sajan dar laage, balam dar laage
sajan dar laage, ho balam dar laage akele mein

sajan dar laage akele mein
balam dar laage akele mein

A sudden sob, a catch of breath,
Your memory, a spectral wraith.
My love, I fear, my heart takes flight,
Alone I tremble in the night.

The elder brothers, gone away,
On carefree trips, where they may stray.
My mother-in-law, her snoring deep,
While slumber's secrets she does keep.
The sister-in-law, at the river's edge,
With her brother, seeking the potato's pledge.
My father-in-law, sleeps soundly,
In the stable's shadowed land, soundly.
My love, I fear, my heart takes flight,
Alone I tremble in the night.

My courtyard bare, a hollow space,
The monsoon comes, you show no face.
My courtyard bare, a lonely plea,
The monsoon comes, but not with thee.
I yearn and ache, both day and night,
O heartless one, return to sight!
I'm caught, alas, in this despair,
Entangled deep, beyond compare.
My love, I fear, my heart takes flight,
Alone I tremble in the night.
My love, I fear, alone I stay,
My love, I fear, and fade away.
