| Sthayi | लई रे श्याम हमरी डुरिया | Laee re Shyam hamari duriya | Shyam, you have taken my ‘duriya’. |
| Sthayi | लई रे श्याम हमरी डुरिया | Laee re Shyam hamari duriya | Shyam, you have taken my ‘duriya’. |
| Sthayi | कैसे मैं भरूँ जल की गगरिया | Kaise main bharun jal ki gagariya | How can I fill my water pitcher? |
| Antara | बाट घाट में रोकत टोकत | Baat ghaat men rokat tokat | On the paths and at the ghats, you stop and hinder me. |
| Antara | अब न रहों तेरि मथुरा नगरिया | Ab na rahon teri Mathura nagariya | I shall no longer stay in your city of Mathura. |
Word notes
Laee means has taken. Gagariya is a water pitcher. Baat ghaat names the paths and waterside steps; rokat tokat conveys stopping and hindering. Mathura nagariya is the city of Mathura.
