kyo ruth gaye manmohan hamse
kyo ruth gaye manmohan hamse
kyo darsh dikhana chhod diya

aakar ke jamuna ke tat pe
aakar ke jamuna ke tat pe
kyo murali bajana chhod diya

na kuch hamne kiya kasur
na kuch hamne kiya kasur
fir kyo kar diya dil se door
fir kyo kar diya dil se door
ro ro naina khoye noor ro ro naina khoye noor
aao aao kyo aana jana chhod diya
kyo ruth gaye manmohan hamse
kyo darsh dikhana chhod diya

Why, Beloved, have you turned from us?
Why, Beloved, have you turned from us?
Why have you ceased to show your face?
Why, Beloved, have you turned from us?
Upon the banks of Yamuna's flow,
Upon the banks of Yamuna's flow,
Why the flute's sweet song, you now forgo?
Why, Beloved, have you turned from us?
Why have you ceased to show your face?
Why, Beloved, have you turned from us?

No fault of ours, we confess,
No fault of ours, we confess,
Yet why have you forsaken our closeness?
Yet why have you forsaken our closeness?
Tears have dimmed our eyes' soft gleam,
Tears have dimmed our eyes' soft gleam,
Come, oh come, why your return,
Why, Beloved, have you turned from us?
Why have you ceased to show your face?
Why, Beloved, have you turned from us?

Once more, return, we implore,
Once more, return, we implore,
And let hope's wave embrace the shore,
And let hope's wave embrace the shore,
These cows, oh Mohan, too, why now,
These cows, oh Mohan, too, why now,
Have you forsaken, and grazing, forgo?
Why, Beloved, have you turned from us?
Why have you ceased to show your face?
Why, Beloved, have you turned from us?
