Nagaree nagaree dvaare dvaare
Ḍhunḍhoȯ re saavariyaa
Piyaa piyaa raṭate raṭate
Ho gayee re baavariyaa
Bedardee baalam ne mohe
Phoȯkaa gam kee aag me
Phoȯkaa gam kee aag me
Birahaa kee chingaaree bhar do
Dukhiyaa ke suhaag me
Dukhiyaa ke suhaag me
Pal pal maanvaa roye chhalke
Nainȯ kee gagariyaa
Nagaree nagaree…
Aayee thee ȧkhiyȯ mė lekar
Sapne kyaa kyaa pyaar ke
Sapne kyaa kyaa pyaar ke
Jaatee hoȯ do aȧsu lekar
Aashaaye sab haar ke
Aashaaye sab haar ke
Duniyaa ke mele me luṭ gayee
Jeevan ke gathariyaa
Nagaree nagaree…
Darshan ke do bhookhe nainaa
Jeevan bhar na soyege
Jeevan bhar na soyege
Bichhaṛe saajan tumare kaaraṇ
raato ko ham royege
raato ko ham royege
Ab na jaane raamaa kaise
beetegee umariyaa
Nagaree nagaree…
I should search every city, town, and home my love (Savariya is also a name for Lord Krishna). I will imbibe your name and keep my faith and trust in finding you.
An unkind and callous one tricked me and has made me burn in the fire of sorrow. The spark of being happily married has been replaced by the misery of separation. And now these human eyes cry like an overflowing water container.
I had come with beautiful dreams; with hope and love shining in my eyes; now I go with tears and loss of hope fading from my eyes. This illusion of the world has robbed me and cleared out everything in my bundle of belongings of life.
My eyes are hungry for a glimpse of you. I cannot sleep for the rest of my life without this vision of you. We will cry at night with this need to see you my beloved parted one. I do not know how this era, this age will pass on my O Lord Raam.
