aaj achanak jaag uthe kyu in hotho par geet
shayad man me jaag uthi hai chhanachhal pankh aur preet
kaise jaan gayi ye aankhiya sharmane ki reet
dheere dheere gori tera bachpan raha hai beet
are beet raha nahi beet gaya tera bachpan gaya hai beet
tera bachpa gaya hai beet aaye re din saj dhaj ke
chalo re jara bachke ho gori jara bachke
bachke bachke jara bachke haye re jara bachke
tera bachpa gaya hai beet tera bachpa gaya hai beet
aaye re din saj dhaj ke
chalo re jara bachke ho gori jara bachke
bachke bachke jara bachke haye re jara bachke

ye naye naye din aaye kaho kya laye kaho kya laye
o kaise bachu kya karu koi samjhaye
bhai aankhiyo kajar bin kari
jaise ke pichkari jaise ke pichkari
bhai aankhiyo kajar bin kari
jaise ke pichkari jaise ke pichkari
gori chalti ho chanchal chal badi matwali
badi matwali gori chalti ho chanchal chal badi matwali
badi matwali tori patli kamariya na lachke
o tori patli kamariya na lachke
chalo re jara bachke o gori jara bachke
bachke bachke jara bachke haye re jara bachke

nahi humko satao banao jao mat dhum machao
nahi humko satao banao jao mat dhum machao
aji chhed chhad ka rang anokha dhang
na mujhpe chalo aji chhed chhad ka rang anokha dang
na mujhpe chalo gori aise chalo na akad ke
o gori aise chalo na akad ke gori jara bachke
bachke bachke jara bachke haye re jara bachke
tera bachpa gaya hai beet
tera bachpa gaya hai beet aaye re din saj dhaj ke
chalo re jara bachke ho gori jara bachke
bachke bachke jara bachke haye re jara bachke

Why do songs leap to these lips now,
suddenly awake?
Perhaps in the heart, wings and love
have awakened, a rustling wake.
How did these eyes learn the blush, the secret,
the shy embrace?
Slowly, maiden, your childhood
is a fading trace.
Oh, it's not fading, it's gone, your childhood
has utterly passed,
Days of adornment are arriving,
too quickly amassed.
Come, be wary, oh maiden, be wary, and fast,
Be wary, be wary, oh, be wary, before your soul is cast.
Your childhood has passed, your childhood
has completely fled,
Days of adornment are arriving,
a future to be read.
Come, be wary, oh maiden, be wary, and quick,
Be wary, be wary, oh, be wary, lest you fall and are sick.

These new days arrive, tell me, what do they bring, what do they bring?
Oh, how shall I escape, what should I do,
let someone sing.
My eyes, without kohl, are bare,
like a water gun, the air.
My eyes, without kohl, are bare,
like a water gun, a snare.
Maiden walks with a playful stride,
in a way that cannot be denied.
Playful she walks with a playful stride,
in a way that cannot be denied.
Oh, your slender waist does not sway,
Your slender waist does not sway.
Come, be wary, oh maiden, be wary today,
Be wary, be wary, oh, be wary, come what may.

Do not torment us, make your peace, leave,
do not raise such a spray.
Do not torment us, make your peace, leave,
do not raise such a spray.
This teasing game, a curious way,
do not try this on me, I say.
This teasing game, a curious way,
do not try this on me, I pray.
Maiden, do not walk so proud,
Maiden, you must listen, and be bowed.
Be wary, be wary, oh, be wary, I avow,
Your childhood has passed, your youth is but a cloud.
Your childhood has passed, your childhood is gone,
Days of adornment are arriving, and you are being drawn.
Come, be wary, oh maiden, be wary, and dawn,
Be wary, be wary, oh, be wary, before your soul is withdrawn.
