| Sthayi | मोरे सैंयां नहिं आये मैं का रि करूं | More sainyaan nahin aaye main ka ri karun | My beloved has not come; what shall I do, friend? |
| Sthayi | सैंयां नहिं आये का रि करूं | Sainyaan nahin aaye ka ri karun | My beloved has not come; what can be done, friend? |
| Antara | कासें कहूँ अब एरी सखि | Kaasen kahun ab eri sakhi | Whom can I tell now, my friend? |
| Antara | जिया घबरावे मैं का रि करूं | Jiya ghabraave main ka ri karun | My heart is anxious; what shall I do, friend? |
Word notes
Sainyaan is an affectionate word for the beloved. Ri and eri address a female companion, while kaasen asks whom the speaker can turn to. The repeated question of what to do gives voice to anxious waiting.
