jaha bachpan bitaya aaj wo aangan paraya hai
chali beti to kya rona ke beti dhan paraya hai
ke beti dhan paraya hai chhod babul ka ghar aangana
aaj doli chali doli leke chale sajna
kon roke sakhi chhod babul ka ghar aangana

kaisa duniya ka dastur hai chhod jane pe majbur hai
ma ke dil ki kali bap ki ladli rote rote bhai bawri
chhod babul ka ghar aangana

ladli tu jaha bhi rahe sara jivan khushi me kate
gam hi gam hai mujhe du to kya du tujhe
sath le ja duaaye meri chhod babul ka ghar aangana
aaj doli chali doli leke chale sajna
doli leke chale sajna doli leke chale sajna

The courtyard of childhood, now a stranger's domain,
The daughter departs, why weep? Her wealth, not ours to retain.
Her wealth, not ours to retain, she leaves her father's home,
In a palanquin she goes, with her beloved to roam.
Who can hold her back, from her father's home, she must roam?

Such is the world's decree, departure's embrace,
A mother's heart, a father's beloved, tears on each face.
A brother's love, in madness he cries,
Leaving her father's home, beneath the skies.

My darling, where'er you dwell, may your life be joy's art,
Sorrow is mine, what gift can I impart?
Take with you my blessings, as you leave your home,
In a palanquin she goes, with her beloved to roam.
With her beloved to roam, with her beloved to roam, with her beloved to roam.
