ae bhangan ki chhori idhar dekh
wo gauri bhag rahi hai chori chori
haye ram mat ghabrao
na kahin aata hu na kahin jata hu
apna jalwa dikhata hu
hatheli pe sarso ugata hu
dono ko sidhe raaste pe lata hu
malik ki laaj bachata hu
apna farz nibhata hu
ek do teen

ae mahalo ki damini
ho jati hai kis or
maat pita ki aabru
aur laaj sharam ko chhod

ghar se yu bhago na rani ji
gaanv me naak kat jayegi
nindiya se jaago o rani ji
ijjat tumhari ghat jayegi
nindiya se jaago o rani ji
ijjat tumhari ghat jayegi

Behold, behold, the churning mess,
Oh, behold, behold, the churning mess,
In the lentils, a shade of yellow,
In the lentils, a shade of yellow.
Behold, behold, the churning mess,
Behold, behold, the churning mess,
In the lentils, a shade of yellow,
In the lentils, a shade of yellow.

This butterfly, that sorcerer,
Will cast her out, from hearth and home,
This butterfly, that sorcerer,
Will cast her out, from hearth and home,
With tricks and twisted spells he weaves,
With tricks and twisted spells he weaves,
Then vanishes, taking her away,
Then vanishes, taking her away.
Their minds, a tangled, loosened thread,
Their minds, a tangled, loosened thread,
In the lentils, a shade of yellow,
In the lentils, a shade of yellow.
Behold, behold, the churning mess,
Behold, behold, the churning mess,
In the lentils, a shade of yellow,
In the lentils, a shade of yellow.

Hey, daughter of the sweeper, look here,
That fair one flees in secret flight.
Oh Ram, do not be afraid,
I come from nowhere, go nowhere,
I display my own brilliance,
I grow mustard on the palm,
I bring both to the right path,
I save the master's honor,
I fulfill my duty,
One, two, three.

Oh, lightning of the palace,
Towards which path do you stray?
Abandoning your parents' honor,
And the shame of your name.

Do not run from your home, O queen,
The village will be disgraced,
Awake from your slumber, O queen,
Your dignity will wane,
Awake from your slumber, O queen,
Your dignity will wane.
