ek laga do laga teen laga char laga pach laga chhah laga sat
sat kuwaro me ek kuwari laz ki mari mai bechari
mai mar jawa mere piche pad gayi dunia sari
sat kuwaro me ek kuwari laz ki mari mai bechari
mai mar jawa mere piche pad gayi dunia sari

koi mera ghunghata khole koi prem ki batiya bole
koi mera ghunghata khole koi prem ki batiya bole
idhar udhar se lapte shole lapte shole
beech me choti chingari
sat kuwaro me ek kuwari laz ki mari mai bechari
haye haye rabba mere piche pad gayi dunia sari

tadpaungi tarsaungi hath kisi ke na aaungi
tadpaungi tarsaungi hath kisi ke na aaungi
nagin banke lahraungi lahraungi chal jawangi ban ke katari
sat kuwaro me ek kuwari laz ki mari mai bechari
mai mar jawa mere piche pad gayi dunia sari

mai apne sajan ki dulhan ye rang rup jawani uljhan
ban gayi meri jan ki dusman meri surat pyari pyari
mai apne sajan ki dulhan ye rang rup jawani uljhan
ban gayi meri jan ki dusman meri surat pyari pyari
sat kuwaro me ek kuwari laz ki mari mai bechari
mai mar jawa mere piche pad gayi dunia sari

laj ne mera rasta roka ghar se nikli khaya dhokha
laj ne mera rasta roka ghar se nikli khaya dhokha
der na kar milte hi mauka mauka ud ja bulbul aaya shikari
sat kuwaro me ek kuwari laz ki mari mai bechari
mai mar jawa mere piche pad gayi dunia sari
sat kuwaro me ek kuwari laz ki mari mai bechari
mai mar jawa mere piche pad gayi dunia sari

One, then two, then three, then four, five, six, seven they come,
Seven suitors, and I, a maiden, shamed, forlorn, and numb.
I wish I could die, the world pursues me, it's true,
Seven suitors, and I, a maiden, shamed and through.
I wish I could die, the world pursues me, it's true.

Some would unveil my veil, some whisper tales of love,
Some would unveil my veil, like flames that leap above,
From every side, a fiery pyre, a burning shove,
In the middle, a tiny spark of life I pursue,
Seven suitors, and I, a maiden, shamed and through.
I wish I could die, the world pursues me, it's true.

I shall torment, and I shall deny, to no one will I yield,
I shall torment, and I shall deny, to none my heart revealed,
Like a serpent, I will coil, and I will be concealed,
then I'll become a dagger sharp and new,
Seven suitors, and I, a maiden, shamed and through.
I wish I could die, the world pursues me, it's true.

I am my beloved's bride, this beauty, youth, and all I do,
This beauty, youth, and all I do, a tangled snare,
My lovely face, a foe to me, a painful blow,
I am my beloved's bride, this beauty, youth, and all I do,
This beauty, youth, and all I do, a tangled snare,
My lovely face, a foe to me, a painful blow,
Seven suitors, and I, a maiden, shamed and through.
I wish I could die, the world pursues me, it's true.

Shame blocked my path, from my home I did depart, and was betrayed,
Shame blocked my path, from my home I did depart, and was betrayed,
Waste no time, seize the moment, every plea is made,
Fly away, little nightingale, the hunter comes in view,
Seven suitors, and I, a maiden, shamed and through.
I wish I could die, the world pursues me, it's true,
Seven suitors, and I, a maiden, shamed and through.
I wish I could die, the world pursues me, it's true.
