| Sthayi | का रि करूं मैं एक पल न माने | Ka ri karun main ek pal na maane | What shall I do, friend? It will not be soothed for even a moment. |
| Sthayi | जियरा पिया बिन आज अब मैं | Jiyara piya bin aaj ab main | My heart, without my beloved—today, now I… |
| Antara | दिन तैं रैन भई रैन तैं दिन | Din tain rain bhai rain tain din | Day has turned to night, and night to day. |
| Antara | राह तकत हूँ उन के अवन की | Raah takat hun un ke avan ki | I watch the path for his coming. |
| Antara | कासे कहूं अपने जीया की अब | Kaase kahun apne jiya ki ab | Now, to whom can I speak of what is in my heart? |
Word notes
Jiyara is an affectionate word for the heart. Raah takat describes waiting and watching the path for someone’s arrival. Rain means night, and kaase asks to whom the speaker can turn.
