tum aankh michauli khel rahe
main sabke taane jhel raha
o swami hokar na maano to
hum me tum me kya mel raha
taraste hain kabse nain bhole bhale
jara hans ke darshan de de murli waale
de de murli waale
taraste hain kabse nain bhole bhale
jara hans ke darshan de de murli waale
de de murli waale

bina devata ke bujhi aarti hain
teri laaj tujhko hi lalakarti hain
bina devata ke bujhi aarti hain
teri laaj tujhko hi lalakarti hain
meri laaj na rakh to apani bachale
jara hans ke darshan de de murli waale
de de murli waale

tumhara hain chhupane ka dhandha purana
naya kabse sikha ye murti churana
tumhara hain chhupane ka dhandha purana
naya kabse sikha ye murti churana
tera aasra hain rula de hansa le
jara hans ke darshan de de murli waale
de de murli waale

karoge kanhaiya daya me jo deri
sachchai rahegi na meri na teri
kasam tujhko hain abki nibha le
abki nibha le
jara hans ke darshan de de murli waale
murli waale

You play hide-and-seek with the soul,
While I bear the world’s harsh toll.
If you, my Lord, remain unconvinced,
What kinship then between us is evinced?
My innocent eyes, for so long, they yearn,
Grant your glimpse, oh flute-playing One, return!
Give, O flute-playing One,
My innocent eyes, for so long, they yearn,
Grant your glimpse, oh flute-playing One, return!
Give, O flute-playing One.

Without a god, the lamp flickers and dies,
Your own honor now, it cries.
Without a god, the lamp flickers and dies,
Your own honor now, it cries.
If my honor you won't keep, save your own face,
Grant your glimpse, oh flute-playing One, embrace!
Give, O flute-playing One.

Your game of hiding, an ancient trade,
When did you learn to steal this shade?
Your game of hiding, an ancient trade,
When did you learn to steal this shade?
Your refuge, it weeps, it then makes us glee,
Grant your glimpse, oh flute-playing One, you see!
Give, O flute-playing One.

If compassion lingers, delay’s your art,
Truth will perish, tearing both hearts apart.
I implore you, now fulfill this plea,
Now fulfill this plea.
Grant your glimpse, oh flute-playing One, decree!
Flute-playing One.
