nazare jhukaye baithe ho salam salam salam
salam kis ko du nazare jhukaye baithe ho

Eyes cast down, you sit in shadowed grace,
Whom shall I greet, with love's embrace?
To whom deliver this whispered plea?
Eyes cast down, you sit, silently.
Salutations, salutations, whispers deep,
Whom shall I greet, while secrets sleep?
Your gentle heart, a thief so kind,
Will steal my heart, and leave me blind.
This evening blooms, a meeting's call,
The evening of our tryst, embracing all.
This evening's gift, this twilight's hue,
To whom shall I give, this evening true?
Eyes cast down, you sit, in reverie,
Whom shall I greet? Come, speak to me.
Eyes cast down, you sit, eternally.

Before the Sultan, all must yield,
No voice can rise, upon the field.
But Ramkali, she knows her worth,
With fiery soul, she brings forth.
If not to you, this offering rare,
This cup of sight, beyond compare,
To whom shall I give this sparkling gleam?
Eyes cast down, you sit, a fading dream.
Whom shall I greet? Come, speak to me.
Eyes cast down, you sit, silently.

I ask a truth, with gentle hand,
With utmost reverence, I understand.
If blame should fall, a shadowed art,
The blame is mine, if we depart.
If you're not mine, no joining hand,
The blame is mine, across the land.
To whom shall I give the blame, the pain?
Eyes cast down, you sit, in sun and rain.
Whom shall I greet? Tell me, say.
With love I bring, this hidden way.
Eyes cast down, you sit, eternally.
Salutations, salutations, come to me.
Whom shall I greet? Come, set me free.
Eyes cast down, you sit, for all to see.
