bhabhi aayi bhabhi aayi
badi dhum dhaam se meri bhabhi aayi
badi dhum dhaam se meri bhabhi aayi

rail ne siti maari, jaldi me giri bichaari
bhabhi kaa dil thaa motaa, aur rail kaa
dibbaa chhotaa
rail ne siti maari, jaldi me giri bichaari
bhabhi kaa dil thaa motaa, aur rail kaa
dibbaa chhotaa
mushkil se jaa ke usame wo samaayi
bhabhi aayi bhabhi aayi

khidaki se nikali gardan, aur bhak bhak bolaa injan
bhabhi ne jo ghunghat kholaa
aur aankh me pad gayaa koyalaa
khidaki se nikali gardan, aur bhak bhak bolaa injan
bhabhi ne jo ghunghat kholaa
aur aankh me pad gayaa koyalaa
bhabhi ji ne aankh bhi ganwaayi
bhabhi aayi bhabhi aayi

paan bidi maachis sigrait

chaay garam chaay garam chaay garam
taangaa e taange waale idhar aao
bhabhi ne bulaya tanga, usane ek rupaya manga
taange kaa nasibaa phutaa
taange kaa pahiyaa tutaa
bhabhi ne bulaya tanga, usane ek rupaya manga
tange kaa nasibaa phuta, taange ka pahiya tuta
thumak thumak thumak paidal aayi
thumak thumak thumak paidal aayi
bhabhi aayi bhabhi aayi

lo bhabhi ghunghat kholo
aao bhayaa se bolo aao aao
lo bhabhi ghunghat kholo, aao bhayyaa se bolo
tabiyat hamaare bhayaa ki lalachaayi
bhabhi aayi bhabhi aayi

She arrives, she arrives, my sister-in-law,
With fanfare, joy, the heart overflowing.
She arrives, she arrives, my sister-in-law.

The train did whistle, haste did it impart,
She stumbled, poor soul, with a heavy heart.
Her form was ample, the carriage small,
She stumbled, poor soul, before the fall.
With great effort, she squeezed inside,
She arrives, she arrives, the cherished bride.

From the window, her neck she did lean,
The engine roared, a smoky scene.
When she lifted her veil, the secret to see,
Coal dust danced into her eye, cruelly.
From the window, her neck she did lean,
The engine roared, a smoky scene.
She lost her sight in that black despair,
She arrives, she arrives, bearing care.

Betel, beedi, matches, and smoke,
Betel, beedi, matches, and smoke,
Tea so hot, tea so hot, tea so hot,
Tonga, O Tonga, come hither, I beseech!
She hailed the Tonga, a rupee the fee,
The Tonga's fate, a tragedy.
The wheel did break, the journey undone,
She hailed the Tonga, a rupee the fee,
The Tonga's fate, a tragedy.
She walked and swayed, a weary pace,
She walked and swayed, with fragile grace.
She arrives, she arrives, her destined place.

Now, sister, unveil, the moment is nigh,
Speak to your husband, with love in your eye.
Now, sister, unveil, the moment is nigh,
Speak to your husband, the heart does reply.
Her presence ignites, his desire takes flight,
She arrives, she arrives, bathed in light.
