chhod baabul ka ghar
mohe pee ke nagar
aaj jaana pada
ho aaj jaana pada

pehan ulfat ka gehna
dulhan main bani
dola aaya piya ka
sakhi main chali
ye tha jhootha nagar
isliye chhod kar
mohe jaana pada
o aaj jaana pada

aao sajan khade hain dwaar
lene ko aaye kahaar
doli me ho ja sawaar

Leaving the father's house,
For the city of my Beloved,
Today I must go,
Oh, today I must go.

Adorned with the jewels of love,
A bride I have become,
My Beloved's palanquin arrives,
Friend, I must leave.
This was a false city,
Therefore, leaving it behind,
I had to go,
Oh, today I had to go.

Come, my Lover stands at the door,
The bearers have come to receive,
Ascend into the palanquin.
