piya ki baansuriyaa piya ki baansuriyaa
huyi kaleje paar piya ki baansuriya
huyi kaleje paar pyaar ki raaginiya
karne lagi jhankaar saheli baawariya
saheli baawariya kabhi na keejo pyaar
saheli baawariya kabhi na keejo pyaar
pyaar ki baansuriyaa bajti din do chaar
saheli baawariya

banu main joganiya jaau piya ke dwaar
banu main joganiya jaau piya ke dwaar
dwaar pe saajaniya karungi preet pukaar
dwaar pe sajaniya karungi preet pukaar
piya ki baansuriyaa raseeli sundariya
nahi pyaar mein saath raseeli sundariya
nahi pyaar mein saath paar nahi sundariya
dubogi manjhdhaar paar nahi sundariya
dubogi manjhdhaar saheli baawariya

preet ki mori naiyya lag jaayegi paar
preet ki mori naiyya lag jaayegi paar
paar more saajaniya piya hain khewanhaar
paar more sajaniya piya hai khewanhaar
piya ki baansuriyaa huyi kaleje paar
piya ki baansuriyaa huyi kaleje paar
pyaar ki raaginiyaan karne lagi jhankaar

The Beloved's flute, the Beloved's flute,
Pierced my heart, the Beloved's flute.
Pierced my heart, love's melodies
Began to ring, oh, my frenzied friend.
My friend, my friend, never love,
My friend, my friend, never love,
Love's flute plays just a day or two,
My friend.

I will become a yogini, go to the Beloved's door,
I will become a yogini, go to the Beloved's door,
At the door, my love, I'll call out my longing,
At the door, my love, I'll call out my longing.
The Beloved's flute, oh, beautiful one,
Love offers no solace, beautiful one,
Love offers no solace, no crossing, beautiful one,
You will drown in the deep, no crossing, beautiful one,
You will drown in the deep, my frenzied friend.

My love's boat will reach the shore,
My love's boat will reach the shore,
Across, my love, the Beloved is the oarsman,
Across, my love, the Beloved is the oarsman.
The Beloved's flute pierced my heart,
The Beloved's flute pierced my heart,
Love's melodies began to ring.
