ho rabba ladke ke bhesh mein ladki hu
rahne wali main kotgadh ki hu
mujhe sakhiya saheliya kahe
thanedar thanedar thanedar
ho rabba ladke ke bhesh mein ladki hu
rahne wali main kotgadh ki hu
mujhe sakhiya saheliya kahe
thanedar thanedar thanedar
ho rabba ladke ke bhesh mein ladki hu

jo na kaam kare uski dushman
mehanat ki main saheli hu
main na kisi se daru sab dare mujhse
apne dam ki akeli hu
pahle kam karo fir aaram karo
pahle kam karo fir aaram karo
ho rabba ladke ke bhesh mein ladki hu
yu hi kisi pe nahi bhadki hu
ho rabba ladke ke bhesh mein ladki hu

mera wakt kate pado ki sewa
kachhe kachhe falo ko mitha karte
inhe jawan karu ki apna dhyan karu
ho rabba ladke ke bhesh mein ladki hu
rahne wali main kotgadh ki hu
mujhe sakhiya saheliya kahe
thanedar thanedar thanedar
ho rabba ladke ke bhesh mein ladki hu

A girl in a boy's guise, I am,
From Kotgarh's heart, I roam.
My comrades call, their voices ring,
"The Thane, the Thane!" the echoes sing.
A girl in a boy's guise, I am,
From Kotgarh's heart, I roam.
My comrades call, their voices ring,
"The Thane, the Thane!" the echoes sing.
A girl in a boy's guise, I am.

Foe to the idle, my spirit's sworn,
To labor's touch, my heart is born.
Fearless, I stand, where shadows creep,
Alone, I rise, my promise to keep.
Work first, then rest, the mantra true,
Work first, then rest, for me and you.
A girl in a boy's guise, I am,
Not quick to anger, nor to condemn.
A girl in a boy's guise, I am.

My time is spent, in service deep,
Ripening fruit, secrets to keep.
To nurture others, or heed my own call?
A girl in a boy's guise, I am,
No heart beats for another's thrall.
My comrades call, their voices ring,
"The Thane, the Thane!" the echoes sing.
A girl in a boy's guise, I am.
