kurta jalidar pajama tang mera
hoye kurta jalidar pajama tang mera
kurta jalidar pajama tang mera
ud jaye uska rang jo dekhe dhang mera
hoye kurta jalidar pajama tang mera

doctor ne ik din dekha jo
mujhko sui lagana bhul gaya
sui lagana bhil gaya uui maa
sui lagana bhul gaya
pakad ke mori nazuk kalai
baiyaa me meri jhul gaya
baiyaa me meri jhool gaya haay
khud hua beemar chukar ang mera
haan haan khud hua beemar chukar ang mera
kurta jalidar pajama tang mera
ud jaye uska rang jo dekhe dhang mera
hoye kurta jalidar pajama tang mera

kurta jalidar pajama tang mera
ud jaye uska rang jo dekhe dhang mera
hoye kurta jalidar pajama tang mera

baniya jo rashan dene aaya
vapas jana bhool gaya ho daiya
vapas jana bhool gaya vo
vapas jana bhool gaya
hans ke wo bola mujhse bedardi
sut ke sang mera mol gaya
sut ke sang mera mol gaya haan
ho gaya wo bejaar dekh ke rang mera
ho gaya wo bejaar dekh ke rang mera

My kurta, a net, my pajama, so tight,
Oh, my kurta, a net, my pajama, so tight,
My kurta, a net, my pajama, so tight,
His very hue would fade, beholding my plight,
Oh, my kurta, a net, my pajama, so tight.

The doctor, one day, saw my form,
And forgot the needle's sting,
Forgot the sting, alas, my Lord,
Forgot the needle's stinging.
He seized my wrist, so delicate,
And in my arms, did cling,
In my arms, did cling, ah me,
And fell ill, touching my being,
Yes, fell ill, touching my being,
My kurta, a net, my pajama, so tight,
His very hue would fade, beholding my plight,
Oh, my kurta, a net, my pajama, so tight.

My kurta, a net, my pajama, so tight,
His very hue would fade, beholding my plight,
Oh, my kurta, a net, my pajama, so tight.

The grocer, who came to give rations,
Forgot his journey back, alas, my fate,
Forgot his journey back, oh dear,
Forgot his journey back.
He laughed, the heartless one, and said to me,
My soul, with yours, did mate,
My soul, with yours, did mate, yes,
And grew weary, beholding my grace,
And grew weary, beholding my grace.
