Lyrics

त्वयि एकाकिन्यां किं करिष्यसि  (What will you do for your loneliness)
Tvayi ēkākin'yāṁ kiṁ kariṣyasi 
यदा सहचरः कोऽपि नास्ति  (When for companionship there is no one)
yadā sahacaraḥ kō̕pi nāsti 
चिरम् धावन्ती गुप्ता असि त्वम्  (Time has past, you have been hiding)
ciram dhāvantī guptā asi tvam
जानास्येव तत् गर्व इति  	(You must know that it is your pride)
 jānāsyēva tat garva iti 

लीले, साष्टाङ्गं प्रणमामि  (Leela, I fall at your feet)
līlē, sāṣṭāṅgaṁ praṇamāmi     
लीले, प्रिये, त्वम् याचेऽहम्  (Leela, my love, I implore thee)
līlē, priyē, tvam yācē̕ham 
लीले, चित्तव्याकुलम् शमय  (Leela, pacify my troubled mind)
līlē, cittavyākulam śamaya 

तव शोकम् अपहर्तुम् अयते  (I tried to remove your sorrow)
tava śōkam apahartum ayatē  
त्वत्पिता यदा निराशाम् (अजनयत्)  (When your father let you down)
tvatpitā yadā nirāśām (ajanayat) 
मूढोऽहम्! त्वयि अनुरागो जातः!  (Fool that I am, love for you was born)
mūḍhō̕ham! Tvayi anurāgō jātaḥ! 
लोक एव अधोमुखीकृतः!  (My whole world was turned upside down)
 Lōka ēva adhōmukhīkr̥taḥ! 

उन्मादात् प्राक् मम (Before I become mad)
Unmādāt prāk mama  
मां पुनरुद्धर (Bring me back to normalcy)
māṁ punarud'dhara 
गतिर्नास्तीति मा वद (Don't tell me that there's no hope / way)
gatirnāstīti mā vada 
व्यर्थमिदम् प्रेम मा ब्रूहि  (Don't tell me that my love is in vain)
vyarthamidam prēma mā brūhi

Show: Satyamev Jayate
Lyrics: Svati Chakravarty, Suresh Bhatia
Music: Sona Mahapatra, Ram Sampath

wo garmiyon ki raat
wo jaade ki baat
wo paani ka matka rasoi ke swaad
sab satata hai mujhe
ghar yaad aata hai mujhe

That night of summers,
That talk of winters,
That water pitcher, those tastes of kitchen,
everything torments me..
Home comes to my mind..

saathi ik saath hai
itni si baat hai
wo ped wo aangan dikhana hai use
kehta hai mann mujhe
ghar yaad aata hai mujhe

A companion is there with me,
Just that much is the thing,
I have to show him that tree, that yard,
The heart asks me,
Home comes to my mind..

jin dilon mein raha main barson tak
ek hissa un mein mera bhi tha
phir wahin rehna hai mujhe
ghar yaad aata hai mujhe

The hearts in which I lived for years,
There was a piece of mine in them too,
I want to live there once again..
I remember my home..

sehme chaukhat pe khade
mera mann ye kahe
pyaar karna seekha tha tumse
pyaar tumse phir paana hai
kitni doge saza,
ab to de do duaa
intezaar ab hai mujhe
ghar yaad aata hai mujhe

Hesitating, standing on the door,
My heart says this..
I'd learnt to love from you..
I have to learn to love from you only..
How much trouble you'll give..
Home comes to my mind..
