kya kya sapane dekhe the, ik din hogi meri shadi
shadi ho gayi tab yeh jaana, shadi hai barbaadi

ai ya yo ai yai yai yo
ek chulbuli phuljhadi, budhe ke palle padi
haay kaise lallu se shadi ho gayi
aay haay haay haay
ai ya yo ai yai yai yo
ek phuljhadi chulbuli, budhe ke palle padi
haay kaise lallu se shadi ho gayi aay
ai ya yo ai yai yai yo

laaya mujhe shaadi ka joda sajaake
rakh diya pinjare ki maina banaake
mukhada nihaare woh dil mein na jhanke
dil kahe dub mari main kahin jaake
kya yahin hoti hai shadi ki khushi
haay haay haay
ai ya yo ai yai yai yo
ek chulbuli phuljhadi, budhe ke palle padi
haay kaise lallu se shadi ho gayi aay haay
ai ya yo ai yai yai yo

mila kya mujhe hoke mehalo ki rani
kori ki kori rahi meri jawani
sone chaandi se mere tann ko sajaye
pyaar jiya ki nahi sajana bujhaaye
raaton mein bistar pe tadapu akeli
ai ya yo ai yai yai yo
ek chulbuli phuljhadi, badhe ke palle padi
haay kaise lallu se shadi ho gayi
aay haay haay
ai ya yo ai yai yai yo

Dreams bloomed, a wedding day I craved,
Married now, to ruin enslaved.
A spark, once bright, now withered, gray,
Oh, how could I wed a fool this way?
A spark, once bright, now withered, gray,
Oh, how could I wed a fool this way?

Brought, adorned in bridal guise,
A caged myna, before his eyes.
He sees my face, but heart's unseen,
My soul descends, where shadows lean.
Is this the joy they promised then?
A spark, once bright, now withered, gray,
Oh, how could I wed a fool this way?

A queen I became, in gilded halls,
My youth untouched, as twilight falls.
Gold and silver, my body's keep,
Yet love's fire, in my heart, asleep.
On lonely nights, I twist and turn,
A spark, once bright, now withered, gray,
Oh, how could I wed a fool this way?
