mithai le lo babu mithai le lo raja
mithai le lo
aaya halwai dilli shahar ka
aaya halwai dilli shahar ka
laddu le lo peda le lo
le lo balusyahi ho le lo balusyahi
laddu le lo peda le lo le lo balusyahi
ho le lo balusyahi
garma garm jalebi le lo
ras ki bhari malai
ho le lo le lo babu
ho le lo le lo raja
aaya halwai dilli shahar ka

Sweets, oh take them, darling, take them, king,
Sweets, I bring.

From Delhi's heart, the confectioner arrives,
From Delhi's heart, where sweetness thrives.

Laddoos, pedas, whispers of balushahi,
Take them, taste them, let your spirit fly.
Laddoos, pedas, balushahi's embrace,
Oh, taste their magic, feel time and space.

Warm, golden jalebis, a sweet, fiery kiss,
Cream-filled malai, pure bliss.

Oh, take them, darling, heed my gentle plea,
Oh, take them, king, and set your soul free.
From Delhi's realm, the confectioner's art,
Arrives to mend the fractured heart.
