PIYA BINA
| piyaa binaa piyaa binaa piyaa binaa basiyaa | Without my lover, the flute... |

| piyaa binaa piyaa binaa piyaa binaa basiyaa | Without my lover, the flute... |
| baaje naa baaje naa baaje naa piyaa binaa | does not bring forth music. |
| tumhaarii sadaa bin nahii.n ek suunii morii nagariyaa... | Without you, everywhere feels lonely... |
| ke chup hai papiihaa mayur bol bhuule ban me.n saa.Nvariyaa | The cuckoo no longer sings; the peacock no longer dances in the forest. |
| din hai suunaa din hai suunaa suunii ratiyaa | The days are empty and the nights are too. |
| piyaa binaa piyaa binaa piyaa binaa basiyaa | Without my lover, the flute... |
| baaje naa baaje naa baaje naa piyaa binaa | does not bring forth music. |
