mujhe loot ke na jana rukh jana
mujhe loot ke na jana rukh jana
binti hai ek sati ki
jyoti mere pati ki lautana
mujhe loot ke na jana rukh jana
mujhe loot ke na jana rukh jana

jawala mere sat ki jag ko jala na daale
aansu kahi dhadke sristi hila na daale
mirtyu ke devta sun moti ye mera mat chun
swami ka dhyan mera badle bidhan tera
sun jana mujhe loot ke na jana rukh jana

dole jal thal re kanpe daso dishaye
halchal mere man ki kahi dekh parlay na laaye
singar luth sake na sindur mit sake na
tute ghamand tera
hai suhag akhnad mera chup jana
mujhe loot ke na jana rukh jana
rukh jana rukh jana

Do not plunder, tarry, stay,
Do not plunder, tarry, stay,
A supplicant's plea, I pray,
Return the light, my husband's ray,
Do not plunder, tarry, stay,
Do not plunder, tarry, stay.

Lest the fire of truth consume,
Lest my tears shake the womb,
O, Death's dark god, heed my word,
My lord's devotion, my sole accord,
Hear me, do not plunder, tarry, stay.

The oceans stir, the heavens weep,
My heart's turmoil, a world asleep,
Adornment lost, the vermilion dyed,
Your arrogance, cast aside,
My marriage sacred, my love profound,
Silence, do not plunder, stay,
Tarry, stay, abide, this ground.
