aaj jo iski halat hai kal ho sakti hai tumhari
ghar me agar reh jaye baithi beti ya behen kuwari
jiski bitiya badi ho gayi uski katiya khadi ho gayi
jiski bitiya badi ho gayi uski katiya khadi ho gayi

ghar ki baat hai ye sabke hi sath hai
kehta hu baat me sachi jiski bitiya badi ho gayi
uski katiya khadi ho gayi jiski bitiya badi ho gayi
uski katiya khadi ho gayi

jisne bhi shadi karli khana abadi karli
aayi fir aisi ghadi bibi ki ghod bari
beti jo paida hui ghar me dhum machi
logo ne di badayi ghar me laxmi aayi
naaj se palne lagi paanv vo chalane lagi
likha padhaya usse kabil banaya usse

bachpan ne di jawni fir aayi ruth mastani
oh ho ho ho ho itne me maa aake boli
beti ki shadi karlo gulchadi phuljadi ho gayi
meri bitiya badi ho gayi

jiski bitiya badi ho gayi
uski katiya khadi ho gayi

rista na aaye nagar dunde vo idhar udhar
chup chup rahne laga duniya se kahane laga
ladka batao bhai paigham lao bhai
koi na kaam aaya itne me mama aaya

oh mama ji tusi kithe si kithe si
mama oh mama
ek paigam laya usne ladka bataya
ladka mila to acha lekin akal ka kacha

usne muh jo khola
sirf bas ek sabad bhola
dahej scooter tv video
frij aur paisa shadi tirajat hui
ek musibat hui jao udhar lao
lao ji maal lao

aise ko ladki kya de najo se jo hai phali
maal agar na de to samjo fir vo jhali samjo fir jhali
samjo fir vo jali samjo fir jali
koi to nek mile koi humdard mile
na le dahej koi aisa koi mard mile
aisa koi mard mile

are aisa koi mard milega babu nahi milse babu nahi milse
haye musibat kadi ho gayi jiski bitiya badi ho gayi
jiski bitiya badi ho gayi uski katiya khadi ho gayi
ghar ghar ki baat hai ye sabke hi sath hai ye
kehta hun baat me sachi sachi jiski bitiya
re jiski bitiya badi ho gayi uski katiya khadi ho gayi
jiski bitiya badi ho gayi uski katiya khadi ho gayi

Today's plight, tomorrow your own, may be,
If your daughter, your sister, remains unwed, free.
When a daughter matures, troubles begin,
When a daughter matures, woes seep within.
This is the tale of every home's plight,
I speak the truth, bathed in sorrow's light.
When a daughter matures, troubles ignite,
When a daughter matures, shadows take flight.

Those who marry, expand their clan's reach,
Then comes the moment, the womb's swollen speech.
A daughter is born, the home erupts in glee,
Greetings abound, Lakshmi's grace to see.
She grows with pride, takes her first gentle stride,
Educated, empowered, with nothing to hide.
Childhood gives way, to youth's bloom and sway,
Oh, oh, oh, the mother then does say:
"Daughter, arrange your marriage, the festivities bloom,
My daughter has grown, escaping the room."

When a daughter matures, troubles begin,
When a daughter matures, woes seep within.
No proposal arrives, the search goes on,
Hiding the worry, from the world withdrawn.
"Find a boy, brother, deliver the news,"
No one responds, the world then refuses.
Then the uncle arrives, "Oh, where have you been?"
Uncle, oh uncle, "Where have you been?"
He brings a proposal, a boy he does find,
The boy is good, but lacking in mind.

When he opens his mouth, just one word he'll impart,
"Dowry, scooter, TV, video, a separate start,
Fridge and money, marriage, now a trade,
A new hardship comes, borrow, I'm afraid,
Bring forth the goods, you have to provide."

What can you give, to the one who was raised with such care?
If you can't provide goods, then you must beware,
beware, beware, beware.
Find a kind soul, a kindred heart true,
Who seeks no dowry, a man strong and new,
A man strong and new.

Alas, such a man, one will hardly find,
Oh, the trouble abounds, the girl left behind.
When a daughter matures, troubles take hold,
When a daughter matures, the story is told.
This is the plight, of every home's pain,
I speak the truth, it will all remain.
When a daughter matures, the troubles unfold,
When a daughter matures, the story is told.
