mai to khadi re khadi re
aankhe ladi re ladi re
jiya tarse milan ki hai raat re
kahe dil lagaya bairi tu na aaya
kahe dil lagaya bairi tu na aaya
mai to khadi re khadi re
aankhe ladi re ladi re
jiya tarse milan ki hai raat re
kahe dil lagaya bairi tu na aaya
kahe dil lagaya bairi tu na aaya

naina lajaaye more dhalke chunariya
dhalke chunariya
suni dagar pe kab se bhatke najariya
bhatke najariya
har aahat pe manva bole dekho sajan aye re
dhalta suraj dekh ke tora dil kyu duba jaye re
bheje patiya devariya ke hath re
kahe dil lagaya bairi tu na aaya
kahe dil lagaya bairi tu na aaya

vada kiya tha tune vada liya tha
vada liya tha
aana na tha to aisa fir kyu kiya tha
fir kyu kiya tha
mai kya janu pyar ki batiya kar baithi nadani
betuki us bedardi ne koi kadar jani
badi vaisi hai mardo ki jaat re
kahe dil lagaya bairi tu na aaya
kahe dil lagaya bairi tu na aaya
mai to khadi re khadi re
aankhe ladi re ladi re
jiya tarse milan ki hai raat re
kahe dil lagaya bairi tu na aaya
kahe dil lagaya bairi tu na aaya

I stand, I stand,
My eyes have met, have met,
My soul aches for the night of union,
Why did you ensnare my heart, foe, you did not come?
Why did you ensnare my heart, foe, you did not come?
I stand, I stand,
My eyes have met, have met,
My soul aches for the night of union,
Why did you ensnare my heart, foe, you did not come?
Why did you ensnare my heart, foe, you did not come?

My eyes are ashamed, my veil slips,
My veil slips,
On the empty path, my gaze wanders,
My gaze wanders,
At every sound, my heart whispers, "See, my beloved comes!"
Watching the setting sun, why does your heart sink?
Sent letters, through the hands of the messenger,
Why did you ensnare my heart, foe, you did not come?
Why did you ensnare my heart, foe, you did not come?

You made a promise, you took an oath,
You took an oath,
If you weren't to come, then why did you do this?
Then why did you do this?
I knew not of love's words, I committed a foolish act,
That heartless one, that cruel one, knew no worth,
Such is the nature of men, a deceitful breed,
Why did you ensnare my heart, foe, you did not come?
Why did you ensnare my heart, foe, you did not come?
I stand, I stand,
My eyes have met, have met,
My soul aches for the night of union,
Why did you ensnare my heart, foe, you did not come?
Why did you ensnare my heart, foe, you did not come?
