AAJ SAKHI MOREY SHYAM ACHEY THO

Aaj Sakhi Morey Shyam Achey Tho
Kar Toon Bhi Tyaaree
Aaj Radha Kunj Mein Lagee Aahey Gulzaaree

Khol Akhiyaan Khol, Khoob Khulee Baazaaree
Chimkey Chiman Mein Alakh Israaree
Aaj Sakhi Morey Shyam Achey Tho
Kar Toon Bhi Tyaaree

Ai Gaafil Gopi Chhad Nind Ganvaaree
Uth Jaag Achey Tho Mohan Muraaree
Aaj Sakhi Morey Shyam Achey Tho
Kar Toon Bhi Tyaari

Aaun Ta Budhaan Aj Been Pyaaree
Nuri Nimaareen Sad Balhaaree
Aaj Sakhi Morey Shyam Achey Tho
Kar Toon Bhi Tyaaree




COMING TODAY IS MY SHYAMA

(Nuri Granth Vol. II, Page 1114)

Today, my friends! coming today is my Shyama,
You also get ready!

Today the flowers have bloomed in Radha Kunj,
Open! open your eyes!

For open is the market today!
And the divine marvel pervades in the gardens!

In their full beauty, bloom the jasmines and the irises,
And they all call out for a vision of the beloved!

O heedless Gopi! give up your forgetful sleep,
Awaken! arise! for today comes the Beloved Shyama!

Today, surely, I will hear the beloved flute,
And ever a sacrificial offering unto Him I am,
Says Nuri Nimani!
