meri baghon ki koyal bagho ko chod kha chali hai
mera babul roye kabul ko chod kha cahli hai
meri baghon ki koyal bagho ko chod kha chali hai

jisko lado se pala sambhala aapne hatho se usko sajaakar
jisko lado se pala sambhala aapne hatho se usko sajaakar
dil par pather tu rakh de babul aapni chokhat se usko bida kar
khoon se jo bane hai rishto ko chod kha chali hai
mera babul roye kabul ko chod kha cahli hai
meri baghon ki koyal bagho ko chod kha chali hai

gudde gudiyo ka vivha rachega aapne aangan me shor machega
gudde gudiyo ka vivha rachega aapne aangan me shor machega
ab naa aaye gi ghar teri sakhya ab naa hogi teri batiya
sang jinke tu kheli sakhiyo ko chod kha chali hai
mera babul roye kabul ko chod kha cahli hai
meri baghon ki koyal bagho ko chod kha chali hai

laaj peehar ki hatho me tere jaake sasural rishte nibhana
laaj peehar ki hatho me tere jaake sasural rishte nibhana
ye dua hai jigar ke hai tookde zindgi me sada sukh tu pana
meri bagiya ki khushboo baharo ko chod kha chali hai
mera babul roye kabul ko chod kha cahli hai
meri baghon ki koyal bagho ko chod kha chali hai

My tigress-hearted nightingale, leaving her jungle, where does she wander?
My father weeps, abandoning Kabul, where does she wander?
My tigress-hearted nightingale, leaving her jungle, where does she wander?

The one you raised with such tenderness, nurtured with your own hands, adorned and adorned,
The one you raised with such tenderness, nurtured with your own hands, adorned and adorned,
You must steel your heart, Father, and bid her farewell from your threshold.
Leaving behind the bonds woven of blood, where does she wander?
My father weeps, abandoning Kabul, where does she wander?
My tigress-hearted nightingale, leaving her jungle, where does she wander?

Dolls and playthings will celebrate their weddings, in your courtyard laughter will resound,
Dolls and playthings will celebrate their weddings, in your courtyard laughter will resound,
Now your companions will not return home, now your conversations will cease.
Leaving behind the friends with whom you played, where does she wander?
My father weeps, abandoning Kabul, where does she wander?
My tigress-hearted nightingale, leaving her jungle, where does she wander?

The honor of your father's house in your hands, go now and fulfill your new home's duties,
The honor of your father's house in your hands, go now and fulfill your new home's duties,
This is my prayer, my heart's fragment, may you always find happiness in life.
Leaving behind the fragrance of my garden, leaving the spring, where does she wander?
My father weeps, abandoning Kabul, where does she wander?
My tigress-hearted nightingale, leaving her jungle, where does she wander?
