khali jebe ho kadki ho mera dil mange wo ladki ho
khali jebe ho kadki ho mera dil mange wo ladki ho
haye re haye haye re haye ke jiske dil me mere liye
prem ki jwala bhadki ho
kadki ho ladki ho haye ladki ho

hai der tumhare aane ki hai der tumhare aane ki
ji bhadke dunia diwane ki apni kismat apni kismat
wo kismat hai thukri hui dar dar ki ho
kadki ho ladki ho haye ladki ho
khali jebe ho kadki ho mera dil mange wo ladki ho
khali jebe ho kadki ho mera dil mange wo ladki ho
haye re haye haye re haye ke jiske dil me mere liye
prem ki jwala bhadki ho
kadki ho ladki ho haye ladki ho

din rat to pata masti hai masti hai
din rat to pata masti hai
ji ye dunia mujh par hasti hai
ji ye dunia mujh par hasti hai
wo mere ho ye ho kaise
wo mere ho ye ho kaise jab sari dunia ladki ho
kadki ho ladki ho haye ladki ho
khali jebe ho kadki ho mera dil mange wo ladki ho
khali jebe ho kadki ho mera dil mange wo ladki ho
haye re haye haye re haye ke jiske dil me mere liye
prem ki jwala bhadki ho
kadki ho ladki ho haye ladki ho

jaise parwana candal par candal par
gir jau teri sandal par sandal par
mit jau teri sandal par lut jau teri sandal par
are bhai wo sandal kidhar hai
mere sar me tera sauda ab khair hamare sar ki ho
kadki ho ladki ho haye ladki ho

Empty pockets, a pinch of need, my heart craves a maiden indeed,
Empty pockets, a pinch of need, my heart craves a maiden indeed,
Oh, alas, alas, alas, whose heart for me,
A flame of love has taken seed.
A pinch of need, a maiden sought, alas, a maiden sought.

A delay in your coming, a delay in your coming,
My soul flares with a world gone mad,
My fate, my fate,
A fate scorned, wandering lost,
A pinch of need, a maiden sought, alas, a maiden sought.
Empty pockets, a pinch of need, my heart craves a maiden indeed,
Empty pockets, a pinch of need, my heart craves a maiden indeed,
Oh, alas, alas, alas, whose heart for me,
A flame of love has taken seed.
A pinch of need, a maiden sought, alas, a maiden sought.

Day and night, I find revelry, revelry,
Day and night, I find revelry,
This world, it laughs at me,
This world, it laughs at me,
How can she be mine, how can this be,
When the whole world is a maiden sought?
A pinch of need, a maiden sought, alas, a maiden sought.
Empty pockets, a pinch of need, my heart craves a maiden indeed,
Empty pockets, a pinch of need, my heart craves a maiden indeed,
Oh, alas, alas, alas, whose heart for me,
A flame of love has taken seed.
A pinch of need, a maiden sought, alas, a maiden sought.

Like a moth to a candle, to a candle,
I'd fall at your sandal, at your sandal,
I'd vanish at your sandal, be plundered at your sandal,
Oh brother, where is that sandal to be found?
In my head, your bargain now, farewell, my head!
A pinch of need, a maiden sought, alas, a maiden sought.
