Shyam Rang Me Rangi Chunariya – Lyrics in English


Shyam Rang Me Rangi Chunariya

Shyam rang me rangi chunariya,
ab rang doojo bhaave na.
In nainan mein shyam samaayo,
aur dusaro aave na.


Bansi vaare mohan pyaare,
chhod gaye kyon yamuna kinaare.
Bhakt tumhaare baat nihaare,
nainan jharate asuvan dhaare.

Laag rahi man me darshan ki,
aur lagan yeh jaave na.
In nainan mein shyaam samaayo,
aur dusaro aave na.
Shyam rang mein….


Bojha bhaari rain andhiyaari,
soojhat naahi, raah kinaari.
Naath hamaare o tripuraari,
taaro ya daaro majhadhaari.

Tum hi raah bata do mohan,
aur koi batalaave na.
In nainan mein shyama samaayo,
aur dusaro aave na.
Shyam rang mein….


Shyam rang me rangi chunariya,
ab rang doojo bhaave na.
In nainan mein shyam samaayo,
aur dusaro aave na.


Shyam Rang Me Rangi Chunariya
