banni hamari chand si pyari
ya kali pilli sanki jhalli hai
chehra dekh ke hi shadi kerega
banne ne zidd ye pakad li hai
tu na baja bajeya na ghodi chadiya
na bandhi ganth dupatte me
ghus aaya banni ke ghar banna
tang ada di fate me

na baja bajeya na ghodi chadiya
na bandhi ganth dupatte me
na baja bajeya na ghodi chadiya
na bandhi ganth dupatte me
ghus aaya banni ke ghar banna
tang ada di fate me
are aaju baju jhake wo kone me chhupe
dekho shakl se chhora ka chacha lage
oye kabhi mundere kabhi kothe chade
chand bade bade at sat hake
kyo lut gayi mar gayi banni
kya hai is ullu ke pathhe me
na baja bajeya na ghodi chadiya
na bandhi ganth dupatte me

mera haka baka ha ji ha
kare nain matka ha ji ha
munda hai paka ha ji to ha
bada chor uchkka ha ha ha
arey uda uda hai ke rang banne kaha gaye the
kaha gaye the, kaha gaye the, kaha kaha gaye the
are dhund rahi kyu, mufo tane kaha gaye the
haye kaha gaye the, kaha gaye the
o bolo kaha kar aaye muh kala
bolo kiska ae tod aaye tala
bolo bolo kaisa gadbad jhalla hai sala sun jara
are ghus gaya blb pet me
samjho chad jhapeta hathe me
ho pakda gaya to ho gai kutai
bandh ke ulta lathe me
na baja bajeya na ghodi chadiya
na bandhi ganth dupatte me

lap lap kahe kajar tera
rup hai ye rabba nagi talwar
oye hoye oye dil kar lenge pijona kutda
dekho dekho ek lath me fase hai char char
wo dekho rang mere phulo ka chhaba
wo dekho banna jaise kachre ka daba
wo dekho dekho hur ko langur mila rabba
kaisa huya ye kamal
are bhid gaya banne ka banni se taka
jaye duniya badde me
na baja bajeya na ghodi chadiya
na bandhi ganth dupatte me
ghus aaya banni ke ghar banna
tang ada di fate me

bhid gaya banne ka banni se taka
athi hai chhamo banna hai baka
fat gaya fat gaya ishq fataka
bhid gaya bhid gaya naino ka taka
mach gaya mach gaya dhum dhadaka
jaye duniya badde me, jaye duniya badde me
jaye duniya jaye duniya badde me

Our bride, a moonbeam bright and fair,
Or a mad, black cat, beyond compare?
He'll wed, he vows, on a face he'll find,
The groom, his stubborn will defined.

No drums to beat, no steed to ride,
No knot tied fast, a bride's soft pride,
He crept into her home, this groom,
And tripped, a stumble in the room.

No drums to beat, no steed to ride,
No knot tied fast, a bride's soft pride,
He crept into her home, this groom,
And tripped, a stumble in the room.

The house whispers, in corners they hide,
His face, an uncle's, cannot confide.
Up on the walls, on the roof he'll pace,
A moon's cruel, mocking, empty face.
Why is the bride lost, she is dying?
What is this fool's game, his lying?
No drums to beat, no steed to ride,
No knot tied fast, a bride's soft pride.

My heart is stunned, yes, yes,
He winks and teases, yes, yes,
A proper rogue, yes, yes,
A thief he is, yes, yes.
Where did he vanish, the colours he wore?
Where did he go, what did he explore?
She seeks him, where did he flee?
Where went the shame, for all to see?
Speak, where's the darkness, the deeds you've done?
Whose lock you've broken, for all to shun?
Speak, what chaos, what messy show,
A bulb's in his belly, the truth will grow.
Caught in the act, his doom is near,
Bound and beaten, consumed by fear.
No drums to beat, no steed to ride,
No knot tied fast, a bride's soft pride.

Your kohl, a shimmering, soft gaze,
Beauty, a naked sword, ablaze.
Oh dear, oh dear, my heart will be torn,
By dogs, by love, a world forlorn.
See, my colours, like flowers they gleam,
See, the groom, like rubbish, a fallen dream.
See, a monkey matched with a celestial theme,
What is this fate, this cruel extreme?
He fought and argued with his bride,
Into the world, a widening divide.
No drums to beat, no steed to ride,
No knot tied fast, a bride's soft pride,
He crept into her home, this groom,
And tripped, a stumble in the room.

He fought and argued with his bride,
She's a bold girl, the groom a rogue inside,
The fire of love, it cannot hide,
The stitches of eyes, their souls now tied,
The music begins, the wedding's begun,
Into the world, the story is spun.
Into the world, the story is spun.
