bimla kamla jaldi aao
asha usha der na lagaao
anju manju mujhe bachao
dukhda mera sunti jao
aisa konsa dukh hai tumko
jaldi jaldi kahde humko

pahle pahle koi gud mayi
phir mai ho gayi dhol bayahi
jab se mai sasural me aayi
sang sajna ke baith na payi
is dil me dekhe the jitne
tut gaye wo mere sapne
socha tha mera sajna hoga
hath me uska kangna hoga
jaan se jyada pyar karega
phir meri wo god bharega
ghut ke rah gayi meri jawani
sas ne fer diya hai pani

to fir ab
bahut sun liya bahut sah liya
sabar ka mere bandh bah gaya
ab to badla lungi
is sasuri ko na chodungi
aaha kutni kutni kutni
aaha kutni kutni kutni
aaha kutni kutni kutni
aaha kutni kutni kutni

sas meri hai badi ladaki
bina bat ke toke
roj nayi ek aag laga de
usme mujhko chhoke
ni mai o ni mai
ni mai sas kutni kutni koi na roke
ni mai sas kutni kutni koi na roke
ni mai sas kutni kutni koi na roke

agar kabhi mathe pe uske
chiti jo chad jawe
chiti jo chad jawe
khud na hatawe chiti ko bhi
sasuri mujhe bulawe
aa ha sasuri mujhe bulawe
roj presa ha roj presa kare wo mujhko
thak gayi mai ro ro ke
ni mai o ni mai
ni mai sas kutni kutni koi na roke
ni mai sas kutni kutni koi na roke

dhol mera bedarda use unchi bat na bole
aa ha unchi bat na bole
pas mere jab awe rat ko awe haule haule
aa ha awe haule haule
budhiya khase, budhiya khase
dhol mera fir ulte pair hi laute
ni mai o ni mai
ni mai sas kutni kutni koi na roke
ni mai sas kutni kutni koi na roke

roj budhape par ye kala rang chadaye budhia
ha ha rang chadaye budhia
budhi khusat sasuri meri bane japani gudiya
ha ha bane japani gudiya
is sasuri ko na chodungi
is sasuri ko na chodungi
rakh dungi main bhukhe
ni mai o ni mai
ni mai sas kutni kutni koi na roke
ni mai sas kutni kutni koi na roke


sas meri hai badi ladaki
bina bat ke toke
roj nayi ek aag laga de
usme mujhko chhoke
ni mai o ni mai
ni mai sas kutni kutni koi na roke
ni mai sas kutni kutni koi na roke
ni mai sas kutni kutni koi na roke

Bimala, Kamala, hasten to my side,
Asha, Usha, let no moment hide.
Anju, Manju, come and be my shield,
Hear my sorrows, the wounds revealed.
What grief consumes you, tell us now,
Quickly, quickly, let us know how.

First, a maiden, joy's tender bloom,
Then, betrothed, sealed by fate's dark room.
Since I entered his household's sway,
My husband's presence, kept at bay.
All the dreams within my heart,
Shattered, torn, and ripped apart.
I dreamt my love, my husband true,
A bangle's gleam, a loving view.
More than life, his love would be,
And fill my womb with progeny.
My youth withers, a silent plea,
My mother-in-law, she turned on me.

And so, now,
I've heard enough, endured the pain,
My patience broke, a flooding rain.
Revenge I'll take, the tables turn,
This shrew, no more, my wrath will burn.
Asha, you scold, you lash, you bite!

My mother-in-law, a battle's queen,
For every word, a hateful scene.
She kindles fires, day by day,
And in their flames, I'm forced to stay.
Oh, I, oh I,
My mother-in-law, cursed, no one can stay.

If ever a tiny ant should crawl,
Upon her brow, beginning to fall,
She'd not remove it, but with a plea,
Calls to me, calls to me.
Always she torments, always she grieves,
Tired I am, my heart it weaves.
Oh, I, oh I,
My mother-in-law, cursed, no one can stay.

My husband, heartless, silent, cold,
High words to him, she’ll never hold.
Near me he comes, when shadows fall,
Slowly he walks, through the hall,
The old woman coughs, the old woman chokes,
And my husband, he runs away.
Oh, I, oh I,
My mother-in-law, cursed, no one can stay.

Each day she paints old age with black,
Yes, she paints old age with black.
The old hag, my curse, a Japanese doll she'd seem,
Yes, a Japanese doll she'd seem.
This shrew, no more, my wrath will fall,
I will starve her, standing tall.
Oh, I, oh I,
My mother-in-law, cursed, no one can stay.

My mother-in-law, a battle's queen,
For every word, a hateful scene.
She kindles fires, day by day,
And in their flames, I'm forced to stay.
Oh, I, oh I,
My mother-in-law, cursed, no one can stay.
