humko bata sakhi itni baat
kaise bitayi tune pehli raat
humko bata sakhi itni baat
kaise bitayi tune pehli raat
pehli raat ki baat na puchho
huyi jo mere sath na puchho
hay ram ji ho ram ji
hay ram ji ho ram ji
humko bata sakhi itni baat
kaise bitayi tune pehli raat
pehli raat ki baat na puchho
huyi jo mere sath na puchho
hay ram ji ho ram ji
hay ram ji ho ram ji

pee ke dudh ka ek katora
ban gaya shersat ka chhora
pee ke dudh ka ek katora
ban gaya shersat ka chhora
jora jori karke nigoda
mera jhumka kangan toda
ek baar jo pakda fir na
chhoda mera hath, ui ma
hay ram ji ho ram ji
hay ram ji ho ram ji
humko bata sakhi itni baat
kaise bitayi tune duji raat
humko bata sakhi itni baat
kaise bitayi tune duji raat
duji raat ki baat na puchho
huyi jo mere sath na puchho
hay ram ji ho ram ji
hay ram ji ho ram ji

kha ke paan ka bida aaya
kaliyo ka gajra bhi laya
kha ke paan ka bida aaya
kaliyo ka gajra bhi laya
meri zulfo ko sehlaya
baaho mein leke fuslaya
laakh manaya lekin uski
lagi na koi ghat, hay
hay ram ji ho ram ji
hay ram ji ho ram ji
aao bataye tume sari baat
kaisi bitayi maine tiji raat
aao bataye tume sari baat
kaisi bitayi maine tiji raat
tiji raat ki baat to puchho
hayi jo mere sath wo puchho
hay ram ji ho ram ji
hay ram ji ho ram ji

maine kitna kaha kuch bol
rani ghunghat ke pat khol
meri ek baat na mani
karne lagi wo aanakani
maine dil ka haal bataya
mushkil se usko samjhaya
jab wo ho gaye raja mand
maine kardi han kardi
re kardi re batti band
puchho na hum dono ne
kya li kya di
kya li kya di saugat
hay ram ji ho ram ji
hay ram ji ho ram ji
sun ke teri raat ki baat
machal uthe apne zazbat
sun ke teri raat ki baat
machal uthe apne zazbat
hay ram ji ho ram ji
hay ram ji ho ram ji

Tell me, dear friend, confide to me,
How did you spend your first night, you see?
Of that first night, ask me no more,
Of what happened, I implore.
Oh, Rama! Oh, Rama!

Tell me, dear friend, confide to me,
How did you spend your first night, you see?
Of that first night, ask me no more,
Of what happened, I implore.
Oh, Rama! Oh, Rama!

He drank a bowl of milky white,
Became a lion in the night.
With force and will, he did it all,
Broke my anklets, made me fall.
Once he held my hand so tight,
He wouldn't let go, what a plight!
Oh, Rama! Oh, Rama!
Oh, Rama! Oh, Rama!
Tell me, dear friend, confide to me,
How did you spend your second night, you see?

Oh, Rama! Oh, Rama!

He came with paan, a betel's grace,
And flowers to adorn my face.
He came with paan, a betel's grace,
And flowers to adorn my face.
He stroked my hair, so soft and low,
And in his arms, he tried to woo.
I pleaded, begged, with all my might,
But he paid no heed, what a fright!
Oh, Rama! Oh, Rama!
Come, let me tell you everything,
How I spent my third night, offering.
Come, let me tell you everything,
How I spent my third night, offering.

Of what happened, I implore.
Oh, Rama! Oh, Rama!

I pleaded with him, "Speak to me!"
"Unveil your face, my queen, you see!"
He paid no heed, to what I said,
And in her silence, she was wed.
I bared my heart, my soul laid bare,
With difficulty, I made her care.
When he became the king, so deep,
I said, "Yes," as all fell asleep.
I turned the lights off, dim and low.
Ask not what we gave, what we did bestow.
What gifts we exchanged in the night,
Oh, Rama! Oh, Rama!

Hearing your nights, my heart now burns,
My soul with passion, now it turns.
Oh, Rama! Oh, Rama!
