सखा तुमने कहा था कि आओगे आज
अपनी मीरा संग बाते करोगे आज
क्या बात हुई ऐसी जो तोड़ा तुमने वादा?
क्या फिर से हृदय मेरा दु:खाओगे आज?
Sakha tumne kaha tha, ki aaoge aaj
Apni Meera sang baaten karoge aaj
Kya baat hui aisi jo toda tumne wada
Kya phir se hriday mera dukhaoge aaj?
You vowed to visit your Meera today
We’ll cackle and chuckle until we’re tired, you said
What emerged to drop your promise, O’ Krishna
Will you crush my heart tonight again?
