Udhau Begihi Braja Jahu lyrics

(refrain) ūdhau begihī braja jāhu

(refrain) udhau begihi braja jahu

(रेfरैन्) ऊधौ बेगिही ब्रज जाहु

Give my dear ones the message of my loving memory, and end their burning pain. Their bodies are a lamp-wick lit with passion’s fire, their lovelorn sighs inflame it like a wind.

surati sandesa sunāya meṭo ballabhina kau dāhu kāma pāvaka tūlamaya tana biraha svāsa samīra

surati sandesa sunaya meto ballabhina kau dahu kama pavaka tulamaya tana biraha svasa samira

सुरति सन्देस सुनाय मेटो बल्लभिन कौ दाहु काम पावक तूलमय तन बिरह स्वास समीर

Give my dear ones the message of my loving memory, and end their burning pain. Their bodies are a lamp-wick lit with passion’s fire, their lovelorn sighs inflame it like a wind.

bhasama nāhina hota pāvata locanana ke nīra ite para bina samādhāne kyoṅ dharain tiya dhīra

bhasama nahina hota pavata locanana ke nira ite para bina samadhane kyon dharain tiya dhira

भसम नाहिन होत पावत लोचनन के नीर इते पर बिन समाधाने क्योङ धरैन तिय धीर

Only the tears that fall from their eyes save them from burning to ashes. When they have no remedy for their state, how can these women be steadfast?

kahauṅ kahā banāya tumasoṅ sakhā sādhu paravīna sūra sumati bicāriye kyoṅ jiyai jala bina mīna

kahaun kaha banaya tumason sakha sadhu paravina sura sumati bicariye kyon jiyai jala bina mina

कहौङ कहा बनाय तुमसोङ सखा साधु परवीन सूर सुमति बिचारिये क्योङ जियै जल बिन मीन

I do not need to explain anything to you, my wise and good friend. Sura Dasa says, “Think well on this. Can a fish live without water?”
