| Sthayi | मेरा मन बांध लीनो रे | Mera man baandh lino re | My heart has been bound. |
| Sthayi | हां रे इन जोगीया के साथ | Haan re in jogiya ke saath | Yes, in the company of this yogi. |
| Antara | सदारंग करम करो क्यूं ना | Sadarang karam karo kyun na | Sadarang, why not show compassion? |
| Antara | इन प्राननाथ के हाथ | In Prannath ke haath | In the hands of this beloved lord of my life. |
Word notes
Baandh lino conveys the heart being captured or bound. Jogiya means a yogi or ascetic. Karam is an appeal for kindness or grace, and Prannath addresses the beloved as dear as life. The final phrase places the speaker in that beloved’s hands.
