ungli pakad ke tune chalna sikhaya tha na
dehliz oonchi hai ye paar kara de
baba mai teri mallika tukda hun tere dil ka
ik baar phir se dehliz paar kara de
mudke na dekho dilbaro dilbaro
mudke na dekho dilbaro
mudke na dekho dilbaro dilbaro
mudke na dekho dilbaro

fasalein jo kati jayein ugti nahi hai
betiyan jo byahi jaye mudti nahi hai
fasalein jo kati jayein ugti nahi hai
betiyan jo byahi jaye mudti nahi hai
aisi bidai ho to lambi judai ho to
dehleez dard ki bhi paar kara de
baba mai teri mallika tukda hun tere dil ka
ik baar phir se dehliz paar kara de
mudke na dekho dilbaro dilbaro
mudke na dekho dilbaro
mudke na dekho dilbaro dilbaro
mudke na dekho dilbaro

mere dilbaro barfein galengi phir se
mere dilbaro fasalein pakengi phir se
tere paaon ke tale meri dua chalein
dua meri chalein
ungli pakad ke tune chalna sikhaya tha na
dehliz oochi hai ye paar kara de
baba main teri mallika tukda hoon tere dil ka
ek baar phir se dehliz paar kara de
mudke na dekho dilbaro dilbaro
mudke na dekho dilbaro
mudke na dekho dilbaro dilbaro
mudke na dekho dilbaro

You held my finger, taught me how to walk,
This threshold looms, so high, help me cross.
Baba, I am your queen, a fragment of your heart,
Once more, this threshold, let me surpass.
Turn not, beloved, dilbaro dilbaro,
Dilbaro, turn not, beloved, dilbaro.
Turn not, beloved, dilbaro dilbaro,
Dilbaro, turn not, beloved, dilbaro.

Harvests reaped, they do not grow anew,
Daughters betrothed, they cannot return.
Oh, harvests reaped, they do not grow anew,
Daughters betrothed, their paths must adjourn.
With this farewell, if separation’s long,
This threshold of pain, help me transcend.
Baba, I am your queen, a fragment of your heart,
Once more, this threshold, let me transcend.
Turn not, beloved, dilbaro dilbaro,
Dilbaro, turn not, beloved, dilbaro.
Turn not, beloved, dilbaro dilbaro,
Dilbaro, turn not, beloved, dilbaro.

My beloved, the ice will melt again,
My beloved, the crops will ripen once more.
Beneath your feet, my prayers shall tread,
My prayers shall tread.
You held my finger, taught me how to walk,
This threshold looms, so high, help me cross.
Baba, I am your queen, a fragment of your heart,
Once more, this threshold, let me surpass.
Turn not, beloved, dilbaro dilbaro,
Dilbaro, turn not, beloved, dilbaro.
Turn not, beloved, dilbaro dilbaro,
Dilbaro, turn not, beloved, dilbaro.
