joban anmol balma, joban anmol balma
joban anmol balma, joban anmol balma
bajariya me aa ke gagariya gavake bika bin mol balma
joban anmol balma, joban anmol balma

bali umariya kori chunariya julmi nathaniya haye
bali umariya kori chunariya julmi nathaniya haye

laga le tu bhi mol balma, laga le tu bhi mol balma
bajariya me aa ke gagariya gavake bika bin mol balma
joban anmol balma, joban anmol balma

kajara lagai ke mahandi rachai ke baiti sej sajaye

bajariya me aa ke gagariya gavake bika bin mol balma
joban anmol balma, joban anmol balma

joban anmol balma, joban anmol balma

Youth, a treasure, Beloved, youth, a treasure,
Youth, a treasure, Beloved, youth, a treasure,
In the marketplace, a pitcher shattered, sold for naught, Beloved.
Youth, a treasure, Beloved, youth, a treasure.

Budding years, a virgin veil, a cruel nose ring, alas,
Budding years, a virgin veil, a cruel nose ring, alas,
In the city of beauty, plunder reigns, all is sold, is gone.
Place your bid, Beloved, place your bid, Beloved,
Place your bid, Beloved, place your bid, Beloved,
In the marketplace, a pitcher shattered, sold for naught, Beloved.
Youth, a treasure, Beloved, youth, a treasure.

With kohl-lined eyes, adorned with henna, I sit upon the bed,
With kohl-lined eyes, adorned with henna, I sit upon the bed,
A bride each day I'm not, and yet, a bride, alas.
Speak a word, Beloved, speak a word, Beloved,
Speak a word, Beloved, speak a word, Beloved,
In the marketplace, a pitcher shattered, sold for naught, Beloved.
Youth, a treasure, Beloved, youth, a treasure,
Youth, a treasure, Beloved, youth, a treasure,
Youth, a treasure, Beloved, youth, a treasure.
