suno balam harjayi hui badi rusvayi
ji bhar gaya jo hum se
hum me kami nazer kya aayi

tum to lene gaye the bazar jhumke
tum to lene gaye the bazar jhumke
meri sotan le aaye
haye re haye meri sotan le aaye
tum to lene gaye the bazar jhumke
meri sotan le aaye
haye re haye meri sotan le aaye

subha raat boli kahani bhula di
mera pyar meri jawani bhula di
nisani jo di thi nisani bhula di
jo dekhi nayi to purani bhula di
jo dekhi nayi to purani bhula di
pehna do ha ha pehna do
ho jao pehna do usi ko hamar jhumake
tum to lene gaye the bazar jhumke
meri sotan le aaye o har jayi
haye re haye meri sotan le aaye

tumhe ye bahana bnane na deti
pata hota bazar jane na deti
mai yu apni duniya mita ne na deti
kabhi ghar me sotan ko aane na deti
kabhi ghar me sotan ko aane na deti
tum pe kurban ha ha tum pe kurban
o raja tum pe kurban aise hazar jhumake
tum to lene gaye the bazar jhumke
meri sotan le aaye meri sotan le aaye
beran le aaye nahi mane
nahi mane nahi mane meri sotan le aaye
o suno balam harjayi hui badi rusvayi
suno balam harjayi hui badi rusvayi

Listen, my love, you've brought such shame,
My heart is weary, the flame's no more the same.
What flaw did you find within my core?
You went to the market for trinkets, that's sure.
You went to the market for trinkets, to gleam,
But brought my rival, a treacherous dream.
Alas, alas, my rival you brought, it seems.
You went to the market for trinkets, my love,
But brought my rival, a shadowed dove.
Alas, alas, my rival you brought from above.

The dawn and the night, a tale untold,
You forgot my story, my love, grown cold.
You forgot my passion, my youth, so bold.
You forgot the tokens, the stories we hold.
If you saw a new love, the old was sold.
Adorn, yes, adorn, let them be adorned,
Let them wear those trinkets, for which my heart mourned.
You went to the market for trinkets to claim,
But brought my rival, oh, love, your game!
Alas, alas, my rival, the same!

I wouldn't have let you make such a plea,
If I had known, your market I'd flee.
I wouldn't have let my world be destroyed, you see,
Never a rival would I let into my decree.
Never a rival to haunt my decree.
For you, I surrender, yes, for you I implore,
A thousand such trinkets, and so much more.
You went to the market for trinkets to appease,
But brought my rival, to bring my heart to its knees.
A wicked one, you brought, no, you don't appease!
You didn't listen, you didn't, you don't, please!
My rival you brought, for your love, disease!
Oh, listen, my love, you've brought such shame,
Listen, my love, you've brought such shame.
