ae baai, ae baai

ae baai tu kaha se aayi
wo kaun se nagar tujhe jana
ae baai tu kaha se aayi
wo kaun se nagar tujhe jana
sath mujhe le le akeli na jana
ke acha nahi hai jamana

sadke mastani chaal ke
de du kaleja nikalake
sadke mastani chal ke
de du kaleja nikalake
phul si naajuk jawani ko
rakhunga main sambhal ke
jayegi ab tu kaha
reh ja dilbar yahan reh ja reh ja na
ae baai
ae baai tu kahaan se aayi
wo kaun se nagar tujhe jaana
sath mujhe le le akeli na jana
ke acha nahi hai jamana

haay re baali umariya
patali patang si kamariya
paanv jahaan rakh de tu gori
thar thar kaanpe dagariya
julmi teri ada main to
ghayal huwa jana o jana
ae baai
ae baai tu kaha se aayi
wo kaun se nagar tujhe jana
sath mujhe le le akeli na jana
ke acha nahi hai jamana
ae baai

Oh, maiden, oh maiden,
From where have you come?
To which city do you journey?
Oh, maiden, from where have you come?
To which city do you journey?
Take me with you, do not go alone,
For the world is not kind.

I am devoted to your intoxicating gait,
I would offer my heart, ripped from my chest.
I am devoted to your intoxicating gait,
I would offer my heart, ripped from my chest.
I will guard your youth, delicate as a flower,
I will protect you with all I possess.
Where will you go now?
Stay, beloved, stay, remain, remain here.
Oh, maiden,
Oh, maiden, from where have you come?
To which city do you journey?
Take me with you, do not go alone,
For the world is not kind.

Alas, your youthful bloom,
Your waist, a slender kite.
Where your foot falls, fair one,
The path trembles and shakes.
In your cruel charm,
My soul is wounded, oh beloved.
Oh, maiden,
Oh, maiden, from where have you come?
To which city do you journey?
Take me with you, do not go alone,
For the world is not kind.
Oh, maiden.
