tu hai najuk kali nazo se hai pali
aankho me thi haya hotho pe thi hasi
apne babul ke ghar gumse thi bekhabar
sabki pyari thi tu rajdulari thi tu
chali phulo pe tu jhuli jhulo pe tu
gungunati thi tu muskurati thi tu
bulbulo ki tarah chah chahati thi tu
chah chahati thi tu chah chahati thi tu

mai kya thi o mai kya thi
mai kya se ye kya ho gayi mai kya thi
mai kya se ye kya ho gayi
mai khud ke liye ek saja ho gayi
mai khud ke liye ek saja ho gayi
saja ho gayi saja ho gayi
saja ho gayi saja ho gayi

mujhpe kitne hue kya batau sitam
agar likhega koi ro dega kalam
is mahfil me hai wo lutere sabhi
das gaye jo meri bholi si jindagi
meri fariyad pe muskurate hai ye
nachne ke liye jurm dhate hai ye
meri tarah se koi suhagan na ho
koi dulhan jaha me abhgan na ho
koi dulhan jaha me abhgan na ho
abhgan na ho abhgan na ho

mai banke ho mai banke dulhan behaya ho gayi
mai banke dulhan behaya ho gayi
mai khud ke liye ek saja ho gayi
mai khud ke liye ek saja ho gayi
saja ho gayi saja ho gayi
saja ho gayi saja ho gayi

A tender bud, nurtured with grace,
Modesty bloomed in your eyes, a smile on your face.
Unaware of sorrow, in your father's domain,
Beloved of all, a princess you reigned.
You walked on petals, swayed on swings,
Humming a tune, joy your heart sings.
Like nightingales, your laughter took flight,
Chirping, chirping, filling the light.

What was I, oh what was I?
From what I was, to what I became, I die.
What was I, oh what I became?
For myself, a sentence of shame.
For myself, a sentence of blame.
Blame I became, a sentence of shame,
Blame I became, a sentence of shame.

The torments I've borne, how can I tell?
If penned, the ink would surely swell.
In this gathering, they are the thieves,
Who devoured my innocent beliefs.
At my cries, they only grin,
To make me dance, they revel in sin.
May no woman suffer as I have done,
May no bride be an unlucky one.
May no bride be an unlucky one.
Unlucky one, unlucky one.

I became, I became, a shameless bride,
I became a shameless bride inside.
For myself, a sentence I find,
For myself, a torment, to bind.
Blame I became, a sentence of shame,
Blame I became, a sentence of shame.
