dulha bikta hai bolo kharidoge
dulha bikta hai bolo kharidoge
ye jo sansaar hai chor bazaar
dhokha bikta hai bolo kharidoge
dulha bikta hai bolo kharidoge
dulha bikta hai bolo kharidoge

maal-o-jar bhi mile aur maka dahej me
maangte hai jami aasma dahej me
rishte naato ke hote hai saude yaha
paanv par gir gayi pagdiya dahej me
rasm ke naam pe dhram ke naam pe
daata bikta hai bolo kharidoge
dulha bikta hai bolo kharidoge
dulha bikta hai bolo kharidoge

chikhe shehnai aagan se doli chali
bhesh badle huye jaise arthi chali
baap maange dua laaj rakh le khuda
laal jode me chhupke garibi chali
waqt hai nirdayi maa to rone lagi
parda bikta hai bolo kharidoge
dulha bikta hai bolo kharidoge
dulha bikta hai bolo kharidoge

leke aayi hai man me umange nayi
rup hai chandni rang hai champai
heere moti me dhundhe mohabbat piya
sej dulhan ki pal me chita ban gayi
jee raha hai pati ho gayi wo sati
rishta bikta hai bolo kharidoge
dulha bikta hai bolo kharidoge
dulha bikta hai bolo kharidoge

kab talak dulhano ki chadhegi bali
masli jayegi kab tak ye najuk kali
ye hai beti teri ye teri bahan hai
ram gopal ho ya sharafat ali
sab hai bahrupiye inse ye puchhiye
sapna bikta hai bolo kharidoge
dulha bikta hai bolo kharidoge
dulha bikta hai bolo kharidoge

chikhe shehnai aagan se doli chali
bhesh badle huye jaise arthi chali
bhai maange dua laaj rakh le khuda
laal jode me chhupke garibi chali
waqt hai nirdayi maa to rone lagi
parda bikta hai bolo kharidoge

aaj is mod pe zindagi aayi hai
aansu doli bane aah shehnai hai
bahan ki zindagi lut na jaye kahin
dhokha dene pe majbur ek bhai hai
hai zamane bata ye hai kiski khata
wada bikta hai bolo kharidoge

A groom for sale, will you buy?
A groom for sale, will you buy?
This world, a thief's bazaar it seems,
Deceit for sale, will you buy?
A groom for sale, will you buy?
A groom for sale, will you buy?

Wealth and gold, and homes as dowry,
They ask for earth and sky as dowry,
Relationships, traded in this place,
Turbans fall, weighed down by dowry.
In the name of custom, in religion's name,
A giver's soul for sale, will you buy?
A groom for sale, will you buy?
A groom for sale, will you buy?

The shehnai screams, the palanquin departs,
Disguised, as if a funeral cart,
Father prays, "God, preserve her honor,"
In red attire, poverty departs.
Time is cruel, the mother starts to weep,
The veil for sale, will you buy?
A groom for sale, will you buy?
A groom for sale, will you buy?

Brought new hopes within her heart,
Her form, like moonlight, skin of champak's art,
Seeking love in diamonds, pearls,
Her bridal bed, a pyre's start,
The husband lives, she's turned to Sati,
The bond for sale, will you buy?
A groom for sale, will you buy?
A groom for sale, will you buy?

How long will brides be sacrificed?
How long will fragile buds be crushed?
She is your daughter, she is your sister,
Ram Gopal or Sharafat Ali,
All are pretenders, ask them now,
A dream for sale, will you buy?
A groom for sale, will you buy?
A groom for sale, will you buy?

The shehnai screams, the palanquin departs,
Disguised, as if a funeral cart,
Brother prays, "God, preserve her honor,"
In red attire, poverty departs.
Time is cruel, the mother starts to weep,
The veil for sale, will you buy?

Life arrives at this turning point,
Tears the palanquin, a sigh the shehnai's joint,
Lest a sister's life be plundered,
A brother, forced to disappoint,
Tell me, world, whose fault is this?
A promise for sale, will you buy?
