shyama o shyama rama ho rama
meri peer tose chupi to nhi
chupi to nhi shyam chupi to nhi
meri peer tose chupi to nhi
chhod ke tera dwar khi kbi main
khi dukh rone gayi to nhi
shyama o shyama rama ho rama
meri peer tose chupi to nhi

maine kab chaha banu mehlo ki rani
banke rhi main to daras diwani
maine kab chaha banu mehlo ki rani
banke rhi main to daras diwani
kisi sukh ki khatir o mere data
koi hat maine kari to nahi
kari to nahi re hat kari to nahi
meri pidh tose chupi to nhi
shyama o shyama rama ho rama
meri peer tose chupi to nhi

maine to hamesha prabhu bas yahi manga
banke rahu main teri mala ka dhaga
maine to hamesha prabhu bas yahi manga
banke rahu main teri mala ka dhaga
dukh to yahi hai tune bhi ye mujhse
kabhi ye na pucha dukhi to nahi
dukhi to nahi ari dukhi to nahi
meri peer tose chupi to nhi
shyama o shyama rama ho rama
meri pidh tose chupi to nhi

Shyama, O Shyama, Rama, O Rama,
My sorrow, from you, is it hidden?
Hidden it is not, Shyam, hidden it's not,
My sorrow, from you, is it hidden?
Leaving your door, ever have I,
To weep my woes, elsewhere gone?
Shyama, O Shyama, Rama, O Rama,
My sorrow, from you, is it hidden?

Never did I crave a queen's domain,
A devotee, I stayed, longing for sight,
Never did I crave a queen's domain,
A devotee, I stayed, longing for sight,
For fleeting joys, O my giver,
A stubborn plea, did I ever make?
Made I never, a plea, made I never,
My sorrow, from you, is it hidden?
Shyama, O Shyama, Rama, O Rama,
My sorrow, from you, is it hidden?

Always, Lord, this I have desired,
To be a thread, in your garland entwined,
Always, Lord, this I have desired,
To be a thread, in your garland entwined,
The ache remains, that from me, you too,
Never asked me, if I was sad?
Sad am I not, alas, sad am I not,
My sorrow, from you, is it hidden?
Shyama, O Shyama, Rama, O Rama,
My sorrow, from you, is it hidden?
