baantne lage kyun mujhe
dil ki mansha puchhti kya hai
mujhme duniya dhundti kya hai
aisi hu na waisi hu
main bhi saala tum jaisi hu
phir kyun mujhko baantati hai
main hakk maangu to daantati hai
bas itna hai mera kissa
baant ke rakh tu mera hissa
bas itna hai mera kissa
baant ke rakh tu mera hissa

tumko sala pata nahin hai
ladki hona khata nahin hai
jitna jag pe hakk tera
utna hi mera hakk hai
phir bhi sala jaane kyun
tujhko mujhpe hi shaq hai kyun
bas itna hai mera kissa
baant ke rakh tu mera hissa
bas itna hai mera kissa
baant ke rakh tu mera hissa

hum na hote to kya hota
tanha baithe ghut ghut rota
kaun dil ki marammat karta
kaun tujhse muhabbat karta
sabke dil me baste hain hum
phir bhi sala saste hain hum
bas itna hai mera kissa
baant ke rakh tu mera hissa
bas itna hai mera kissa
baant ke rakh tu mera hissa

Why dissect my being now?
What does the heart truly desire?
What world seeks refuge in me?
I am neither this nor that,
I am, alas, just like you.
Then why the division, the split?
When I claim my right, you scold.
This, and this alone, is my tale:
Divide and keep my share.
This, and this alone, is my tale:
Divide and keep my share.

You, alas, do not understand:
Being a woman is no sin.
As much right as you have on this world,
So much is mine as well.
Yet, alas, I wonder why,
Do you still doubt me so?
This, and this alone, is my tale:
Divide and keep my share.
This, and this alone, is my tale:
Divide and keep my share.

If we were not here, what then?
Would you sit alone, weeping and sighing?
Who would mend your fractured heart?
Who would offer you love's art?
We dwell in the hearts of all,
Yet, alas, we are treated cheap.
This, and this alone, is my tale:
Divide and keep my share.
This, and this alone, is my tale:
Divide and keep my share.
