रुँदै छु म गैह्रीखेतमा तिमी परदेशमा
सपनीमा मात्रै आउँछौ नौलो नौलो भेषमा
आजै बिहान काली कौवा किन करायो
कस्तो खबर आउँछ भनी यो मन डरायो
पीरै पीरले जिन्दगी भो दुख सागर
तिमी बिना छैन मलाई हाँस्ने रहर
फुर्फुरायो दाहिने आँखा सोच्न कर लाग्यो
हुलाकी ल्या'को चिठी खोल्न डर लाग्यो
खोलूँ भने सधैँ साईनो टुट्ने हो कि
नखोलूँ त कलेजीमा घाउ दुख्ने हो कि
Rudai chhu ma gaihrikhetma timi paradeshma
Sapanima matrai aaunchhau naulo naulo bheshma
Aajai bihana kali kauwa kina karayo
Kasto khabar aaunchha bhani yo mana darayo
Pirai pirle jindagi bho dukh sagar
Timi bina chhaina malai hansne rahar
Phurphurayo dahine aankha sochna kar lagyo
Hulaki lya'ko chithi kholna dar lagyo
Kholu bhane sadhai saino tutne ho ki
Nakholu ta kalejima ghau dukhne ho ki
I am crying at Gairikhet, you are in foreign land
You only appear in my dreams in new guise
Why this morning a black crow started to crow
What message will come, the fear in my heart grows
The torment has turned my life into an ocean of pain
I have no desire even to smile without you around
My right eyelids flutter, am compelled to think twice
I fear to open the letter the postman has delivered
Will our relation be torn apart if I open this letter
What if I don’t, will it hurt the wound in the liver
