dulhaniyan ki doli kaharo ne luti
dulhaniyan ki doli kaharo ne luti
kaharo ne luti kaharo ne luti

ho mukaddar ne kaisa ye satranj khela
mukaddar ne kaisa ye satranj khela
kiya mujhko apne piya se akela
kiya mujhko apne piya se akela
chhut gaya mujhse aashao ka mela
chhut gaya mujhse aashao ka mela
dila kar tassli saharo ne luti
dulhaniyan ki doli kaharo ne luti
dulhaniyan ki doli kaharo ne luti

doli ko naav mein leke chale the
ho piya ke ghar se bahut fasle the

dubane ke tufa ke bhi housale the
dubane ke tufa ke bhi housale the
bhavar se bachi to kinaro ne luti
dulhaniyan ki doli kaharo ne luti
dulhaniyan ki doli kaharo ne luti

ho barbadiyo ka vo karan bani thi
barbadiyo ka vo karan bani thi
kismat se bhi vo abhagan bani thi
kismat se bhi vo abhagan bani thi
jamane ki najaro mein papan bani thi
jamane ki najaro mein papan bani thi
kija se bachi to baharo ne luti
dulhaniyan ki doli kaharo ne luti

kaharo ki niyat badalane lagi thi

jangal mein hi sham thalane lagi thi
jangal mein hi sham thalane lagi thi
jo luti to apne hi pyaro ne luti
dulhaniyan ki doli kaharo ne luti
dulhaniyan ki doli kaharo ne luti
kaharo ne luti kaharo ne luti
kaharo ne luti kaharo ne luti

The bride's palanquin, the bearers did steal,
The bride's palanquin, the bearers did steal,
They stole it, they stole it,
They stole it, they stole it.

Oh, fate played a game of chess so cruel,
Fate played a game of chess so cruel,
Leaving me, from my love, a lone jewel,
Leaving me, from my love, a lone jewel,
The fair of hopes, from me, did unreel,
The fair of hopes, from me, did unreel,
Consolation offered, then the pillars did kneel,
The bride's palanquin, the bearers did steal,
The bride's palanquin, the bearers did steal.

Oh, from my love's home, the distance was deep,
In a boat, the palanquin, they did keep,
Oh, from my love's home, the distance was deep,
From my love's home, the distance was deep,
In a boat, the palanquin, they did keep,
In a boat, the palanquin, they did keep,
The storm's ambition, to drown us did creep,
The storm's ambition, to drown us did creep,
From the whirlpool's grasp, the shores did reap,
The bride's palanquin, the bearers did steal,
The bride's palanquin, the bearers did steal.

Oh, she was the cause of ruin untold,
She was the cause of ruin untold,
By fate, an unfortunate, her story unrolled,
By fate, an unfortunate, her story unrolled,
In the world's eyes, a sinner, her tale to be sold,
In the world's eyes, a sinner, her tale to be sold,
From death's grip she fled, the spring did scold,
The bride's palanquin, the bearers did steal,
The bride's palanquin, the bearers did steal.

Oh, the footsteps' pace, began to cease,
The footsteps' pace, began to cease,
The bearers' intentions, began to release,
The bearers' intentions, began to release,
In the forest's embrace, the evening's decrease,
In the forest's embrace, the evening's decrease,
If stolen, by her own loved ones, her peace,
The bride's palanquin, the bearers did steal,
The bride's palanquin, the bearers did steal,
They stole it, they stole it,
They stole it, they stole it.
