sakhee re aba too mata kara baata
bhayee dera mai sovana jaata |
sote me eka sapanaa hogaa
baalama moraa ghara aayegaa
saaree raata raMga rasa ke saatha
kaba se sakhee vo tarasata hai
kaba sapano ke dvaara khulata hai
kaahe rokata milana saugaata ||
Devnagri
सखी रे अब तू मत कर बात
भयी देर मै सोवन जात ।
सोते मे एक सपना होगा
बालम मोरा घर आयेगा
सारी रात रंग रस के साथ
कब से सखी वो तरसत है
कब सपनो के द्वार खुलत है
काहे रोकत मिलन सौगात ॥
Meaning
O dear friend please don\'t talk. I am going to sleep after a long time. I will dream while sleeping. In the dream my beloved will come home. I will spend the entire night with him. He has been keeping me waiting for a long time. So please don\'t stop such a meeting from happening by keeping me awake.
