main dukhiyari nari su rishi ke bujoge man ki
har ne vipda geri sai kar rakhi tan ki
main dukhiyari nari su rishi ke bujoge man ki
har ne vipda geri sai kar rakhi tan ki
main dukhiyari nari su rishi ke bujoge man ki
har ne vipda geri sai kar rakhi tan ki

maat pita ne jan ke mai gin ke badi mushkil te pali
likha patha di talim baap ne pher shadi ki sa li
jun ke kaman bula brahaman meri vedi rachana li
nava java barat bula ke sajan ke ghar ghali
diya dan aur kara man diya dan aur kara man
kuchh kami nahi thi dhan ki
har ne vipda geri sai kar rakhi tan ki
main dukhiyari nari su rishi ke bujoge man ki
har ne vipda geri sai kar rakhi tan ki

deke baith mahal mein gai bahal mein liye charan chitkar
sas nanad se ladi bhidi na hardam ta vedar
pavan pati tae na boli chali na na hoi takrar
kuchh din andar dera mera kara shahar te baar
diya jo khana aag udana diya jo khana aag udana
ya kaar raat aur din ki
har ne vipda geri sai kar rakhi tan ki
main dukhiyari nari su rishi ke bujoge man ki
har ne vipda geri sai kar rakhi tan ki

gaye bhag jag mujh rinbhagan ke sudh le li bhagvan
kar pati ke darshan ho gai prashan aai jaan mein jaan
nahai dhoi kari rasoi mane taar liye pakvan
pati ko khila dil bahla ke pher kiya tha jal paan
the chhatri ko amar the tino the chhatri ko amar the tino
yom kari dhiran ki
har ne vipda geri sai kar rakhi tan ki
main dukhiyari nari su rishi ke bujoge man ki
har ne vipda geri sai kar rakhi tan ki

sas meri ne julm kare mai ghar tar tai taahi
gai pihar na raya sir dhora dhargi maai
ib had ho li ya patoli mane
man khan ki ya rahi prabhu kasht mita meri jaan nai
bahut ghadi dukh pai jat mahar si chhand band karke
jat mahar sih chhand band karke ib rat le mala krishn ki
har ne vipda geri sai kar rakhi tan ki
main dukhiyari nari su rishi ke bujoge man ki
har ne vipda geri sai kar rakhi tan ki

A woman of sorrow, to the sage I plead,
My heart laid bare, a story to concede.
Each trial's shadow, on my body cast,
A woman of sorrow, the die is cast.
A woman of sorrow, to the sage I plead,
My heart laid bare, a story to concede.
Each trial's shadow, on my body cast.

My parents raised me, with such tender care,
Through trials, they nurtured, beyond compare.
My father taught, then gave me to wed,
To a home, a life, that lay ahead.
The priest called forth, the sacred fire,
A wedding planned, fueled by desire.
With gifts bestowed, and honors given,
No lack of wealth, beneath the heaven.
Each trial's shadow, on my body cast,
A woman of sorrow, the die is cast.
A woman of sorrow, to the sage I plead,
My heart laid bare, a story to concede.
Each trial's shadow, on my body cast.

I gave my all, yet found no peace,
A life of strife, that would not cease.
Quarrels with sister-in-law, a daily fight,
My husband's silence, a darkened night.
I spoke no word, no argument arose,
My dwelling place, behind closed doors.
The food I gave, was often burned,
This endless cycle, my spirit yearned.
Each trial's shadow, on my body cast,
A woman of sorrow, the die is cast.
A woman of sorrow, to the sage I plead,
My heart laid bare, a story to concede.
Each trial's shadow, on my body cast.

Then fortune smiled, the divine arose,
My husband's vision, a balm that bestows.
I bathed and cooked, a feast I made,
My husband’s joy, my heart obeyed.
He ate with pleasure, my spirit brightened,
A warrior's love, my burdens lightened.
Three protectors, forever bold,
A testament of stories to be told.
Each trial's shadow, on my body cast,
A woman of sorrow, the die is cast.
A woman of sorrow, to the sage I plead,
My heart laid bare, a story to concede.
Each trial's shadow, on my body cast.

My sister-in-law, in cruelty, did thrive,
Forced from my home, where I could not survive.
I fled to my parents, my head bowed low,
My suffering's limit, now did grow.
My mind now whispers, a prayer I send,
May God erase, this bitter end.
I suffered long, now, the poet’s art,
Mahr Singh's song, a Krishna's start.
Each trial's shadow, on my body cast,
A woman of sorrow, the die is cast.
A woman of sorrow, to the sage I plead,
My heart laid bare, a story to concede.
Each trial's shadow, on my body cast.
