piya piya rat ke piya piya rat ke
main ho gyi papiha
haye piya piya haye piya piya
piya piya rat ke
main ho gayi papiha
haye piya piya haye piya piya

kaliyo ka muh bhanvra chume
sawan nache birahan jhume
chand hai dekhe aur pulkit jaye
chand hai dekhe aur pulkit jaye
haye piya piya haye piya piya
piya piya rat ke main ho gyi papiha

sajan ji base is ghar se
bin mosam ye nayna barse
sajan ji base is ghar se
bin mosam ye nayna brse
aage dikha do more kuvar kanahiya
aage dikha do more kuvar kanahiya
haye piya piya haye piya piya
piya piya rat ke main ho gayi papiha
haye piya piya haye piya piya

dhan paka majhar bhar aaye
dhan paka majhar bhar aaye
fulan khu se man lahraye
fulan khu se man lahraye
git yaha hai aur dur gavaiya
git yaha hai aur dur gavaiya
hayr piya piya haye piya piya
piya piya rat ke main ho gayi papiha
haye piya piya haye piya piya

Whispering Beloved, Beloved I call,
A papia, a longing, I become.
Oh, Beloved, Oh, Beloved,
Beloved I call,
A papia, I become. Oh,
Oh, Beloved, Oh, Beloved.

The bee kisses the bud's soft face,
The monsoon dances, the lonely heart sways.
The moon observes, the heart filled with glee,
The moon observes, and delights the soul's plea.
Oh, Beloved, Oh, Beloved,
Beloved I call, a papia I become.
Oh, Beloved, Oh, Beloved.

My love dwells within this very home,
Yet, unseasoned, my eyes overflow.
My love dwells within this very home,
Yet, unseasoned, my eyes overflow.
Show me the path, my Krishna, my guide,
Show me the path, my Krishna, side by side.
Oh, Beloved, Oh, Beloved,
Beloved I call, a papia I become.
Oh, Beloved, Oh, Beloved.

The ripened grain, the fields now swell,
The ripened grain, the fields now swell,
Flowers bloom, my heart does excel,
Flowers bloom, my heart does excel.
Here the song, the singer so far,
Here the song, and time is a scar.
Oh, Beloved, Oh, Beloved,
Beloved I call, a papia I become.
Oh, Beloved, Oh, Beloved.
