sun banto bat meri sun banto bat meri
din ta gujar jaega, nayo katni rat meri
rahne de yeh betabi, ve chhuteya rahne de yeh betabi
mai ghar nahi jana, lai fad ghar di chabi
mai ghar nahi jana, lai fad ghar di chabi

o chup kar ke gaddi te vich baija
o chup kar ke gaddi te vich baija
ke roi te chaped khanegi ke roi te chaped khanegi

teri gaddi vich nayin baina, ve ja teri gaddi vich nayin baina
jithe teri yaad aaye, uthe baith ke ro lena
jithe teri yaad aaye, uthe baith ke ro lena
mai tujhe ghar se bhaga ke nahi laya
tujhe ghar se bhaga ke nahi laya
ke aai hai tu marji se ke aai hai tu marji se

hat chhod majak channa, oy hat chhod majak channa
teri meri nayi nibhni, mainu de de talaak channa
teri meri nayi nibhni, mainu de de talaak channa

te apne ghar rahna tha, apne ghar rahna tha
doli me na dale, babul se kahana tha
doli me na dale, babul se kahana tha
mere babul ka nam na lena mere babul ka nam na lena
tu chahe meri jan kad lai chahe meri jan kad lai

ho ik ruthe te duja manaye, ik ruthe te duja manaye
yahi toh pyar hai mitaran, ek ruthe
tum samjhe mai ruth gai, ve ja tu samajhe mai ruth gai
umaran di yari, palna vich tut gai
tum samjhe mai ruth gai, ve ja tu samajhe mai ruth gai
umaran di yari, palna vich tut gai

Listen, my love, heed my words,
The day will fade, but my night endures.
Cease this frantic longing, oh, cease,
I will not return, take back the house key, release.
I will not return, take back the house key.

Be silent, and into the car descend,
Be silent, into the car extend.
If you weep, a slap you'll find, if you weep, a slap you'll find.

In your car I will not sit, no, in your car.
Where your memory dwells, I'll sit and pour, afar.
Where your memory dwells, I'll sit and pour.
I did not lure you from your home,
I did not lure you, you came alone.
You came by your own will, you came by your own will.
Enough jesting, my love, enough jesting.
Our paths diverge, grant me release, my love, release.
Our paths diverge, grant me release.
You should have stayed within your walls, your own walls,
In the bridal palanquin, to your father you should call.
In the bridal palanquin, to your father you should call.
Do not speak my father's name, do not speak,
Though you may take my life, though you may seek.

When one is angered, the other soothes, when one is angered,
Such is love, my friend, when one is angered.
You think I'm angered, you believe,
Friendship of ages, in a cradle, it grieves.
You think I'm angered, you believe,
Friendship of ages, in a cradle, it grieves.
