Raina Beeti Jaye-Lyrics & Translation

Lyrics

Raina beeti jaye, 
Shyam na aaye 
Nindiya na aaye, 

Shaam ko bhoola, Shyam ka wada re 
Sang diye ke jaagi Radha 

Kis sautan ne roki dagariya 
Kis bairan se laagi nazariya 

Birhaa ki maari, prem diwaani 
Tan man pyasa ankhiyon mein paani 

रैना बीती जाये, 
श्याम न आये 
निंदिया न आये, 


शाम को भूला, श्याम का वादा 
संग दीये के, जागे राधा 

किस सौतन ने रोकी डगरिया 
किस बैरन से लागी नज़रिया

बिरहा की मारी, प्रेम दीवानी 
तन मन प्यासा, अंखियों में पानी 

Translation

The time is passing away 
My lover is not coming hey!! 
The sleep is too eluding my ducere !! 

By evening my lover forgot his promise 
That his beloved shall wait for him with lit candles. 

Is there a second lover who crossed your lanes? 
Is there anyone foreign who stole your glances? 

Weary of separation for your love I am anxious. 
My body and soul is thirsty and tears fill my eyes.
