bin choli bin gaagro mari sharm ke mare
mera dikhe dilli aagra mari sharm ke mare
main mar gayi mar gayi meri jaan nikal gayi
haye meri laaj main pili pad gayi
raja ho rasiya ho chhaila ho chhaliya ho

choli gaagro lauta do jo chaohoge karugi
kachhu pahna do uda do jo chahonge karugi
chham chham nachungi gungun gaaungi
beehad dharti ko chaman banaungi wada ha pakka wada
sanwaar do saja do jo chahonge wo karugi
kachhu pahna do uda do jo chahonge karugi

kaahe ko aayi main jamuna kinare hamare liye
kaahe ko hamne badan se kapde utare are hamare liye
pani se nikal ke bahi main pani pani
bhig ke agan hui phul si jawani
sabke bich ab aau to kaise
chadhti jawani chuupau kaise chhupane ki jarurt kya hai
chakri karugi hukum bajaaungi
dulhan bane bin sej sajaungi wada pakka wada

saj ke sanwar ke tumhare kam aaungi
julfo ki thandi thandi chhao mein bithaungi
madh bhare naino se daaru pilaaungi haye
gale se lagke hath dil pe rakhaungi
roop nagar ki ser karaungi lekin kab

aaj ki shaam savymbar rachaungi
war mala mein tumhi ko pahchangi
wada kaam hone pe pura abhi aadha
hamari tarf se pakka wada
lipat ke sanwar ke nayi dulhan si lage chup
chhod de mat chhed re ab apni bhoji lage

Without bodice, without pitcher, shame consumed me,
My Delhi, Agra, exposed, by shame consumed me.
I died, I died, my life departed,
Alas, my modesty, I turned yellow-hearted.

You are king, lover, charmer, deceiver,
Return the bodice, the pitcher, whatever you desire, I'll do.
Clothe me, undress me, whatever you desire, I'll do.
I'll dance, *chham chham*, I'll hum, *gungun*,
Transforming the wilderness to a garden, a promise, yes, a firm promise.
Adorn me, decorate me, whatever you desire, I'll do.
Clothe me, undress me, whatever you desire, I'll do.

Why did I come to the Yamuna's edge, for you?
Why did I shed my clothes, for you?
Emerging from the water, I flowed with the water,
Drenched, my youth blossomed like a flower.
How can I face the world now?
How can I hide my rising youth? Why hide?
I'll serve, I'll obey your command,
Without being a bride, I'll adorn the bed, a firm promise.

Adorned, embellished, I'll be at your service,
Seated in the cool shade of my tresses.
From my honeyed eyes, I'll offer you drink, alas,
From my sweet lips, I'll offer honey.
Embracing you, I'll keep your hand on my heart,
I'll show you the city of beauty, but when?
This very evening, I'll arrange a *swayamvara*,
And place the garland of victory on you.
A promise, half fulfilled, work is pending.
From our side, a firm promise.
Clinging, adorned, looking like a new bride, be silent.
Leave it, don't tease, she is your sister-in-law.
