Lyrics

दारी उभी अशी मी, गेली निघून रात

कुजबूज नाहि घडली, झाली अबोल रात

Dārī ubhī aśī mī, gelī nighūna rāta

Kuzabūza nāhi ghaḍalī, zhālī abola rāta

In the doorway I stand like this; the night has passed away

No murmuring occurred; the night became silent

बिलगून एकमेकां होते कपोत बसले

निःशब्द श्वास त्यांचे दोन्ही उरी मिळाले

निर्जीव मीच होते, होती सजीव रात

Bilagūna ekamekāṃ hote kapota basale

Niḥśabda śvāsa tyāṃçe donhī urī miḷāle

Nirjīva mīça hote, hotī sajīva rāta

Pigeons were sitting, embracing each other

Their inaudible breaths united in both breasts

Only I was lifeless; the night was living!

दिसला चकोर सखया, चन्द्रास बाहताना

दिसला चुकून वारा कलिकेस चुम्बिताना

तारेच मोजिले मी, सरली तशीच रात

Disalā cakora sakhayā, candrāsa bāhatānā

Disalā çukūna vārā kalikesa cumbitānā

Tāreça mojile mī, saralī taśīça rāta

I saw the cakora partridge, friend! beckoning to the moon

I saw by accident the wind kissing a bud

I only counted stars; the night passed just like that

स्वप्नात सत्य होते सारे मिळून गेले

गन्धात धुंद होते ते जीव भावभोळे

निर्गन्ध मी परी रे, गेली रुसून रात

Svapnāta satya hote sāre miḷūna gele

Gandhāta dhunda hote te jīva bhāva-bhoḷe

Nirgandha mī parī re, gelī rusūna rāta

In a dream, the entire reality had been obtained

Those sentimental souls were entranced by scent

Yet I'm unscented, man! The night left, annoyed
