umango ko sakhi pi ki nagariyaa kaise le jaaun
umango ko sakhi pi ki nagariyaa kaise le jaaun
kamar lachake mori
haay kamar lachake mori
bhaari gagariyaa kaise le jaaun
kamar lachake mori
bhaari gagariyaa kaise le jaaun

dagar me rup ke lobhi nagar me man ke maile hai
nagar me man ke maile hai
yahaan paapi najariyo ke hazaaro jaal phaile hai
hazaaro jaal phaile hai
bhare baazaar me baali umariyaa kaise le jaaun
kamar lachake mori
haay kamar lachake mori
bhaari gagariyaa kaise le jaaun
umango ko sakhi pi ki nagariyaa kaise le jaaun

mohe duniya se dar laage yahaan laakho hai matawaale
yahaan laakho hai matawaale
na jaane koi alabelaa mohe kis rang me rang daale
mohe kis rang me rang daale
ragilo me bhalaa kori chunariyaa kaise le jaaun
kamar lachake mori
haay kamar lachake mori
bhaari gagariyaa kaise le jaaun
umango ko sakhi pi ki nagariyaa kaise le jaaun

lagaa ke haatho me mehndi rachaa ke naino me ratiyaa
rachaa ke naino me ratiyaa
dulahaniyaa banake nikali hu milenge aaj man basiyaa
milenge aaj man basiyaa
sajan ke dwaar se pyaasi najariyaa kaise le jaaun
kamar lachake mori
haay kamar lachake mori
bhaari gagariyaa kaise le jaaun
umango ko sakhi pi ki nagariyaa kaise le jaaun

How to carry my yearnings, friend, to my beloved's town?
How to carry my yearnings, friend, to my beloved's town?
My waist it bends, oh,
My waist it bends, oh,
How can I bear this heavy pitcher down?
My waist it bends, oh,
How can I bear this heavy pitcher down?

The path is paved with eyes that crave, the town with soiled hearts,
The town with soiled hearts,
Here, a thousand nets of sinful gazes are cast apart,
Are cast apart.
Through a crowded bazaar, how can I carry my youth's art?
My waist it bends, oh,
My waist it bends, oh,
How can I bear this heavy pitcher down?
How to carry my yearnings, friend, to my beloved's town?

I fear this world, it holds a million crazed,
It holds a million crazed,
Who knows what colors this rogue will braid,
This rogue will braid?
Among these revelers, how can I carry my virgin braid?
My waist it bends, oh,
My waist it bends, oh,
How can I bear this heavy pitcher down?
How to carry my yearnings, friend, to my beloved's town?

With henna staining my hands, with night's hues in my eyes,
With night's hues in my eyes,
I've emerged a bride, today my heart's master I'll realize,
Today my heart's master I'll realize.
From my beloved's door, how can I carry my thirsty eyes?
My waist it bends, oh,
My waist it bends, oh,
How can I bear this heavy pitcher down?
How to carry my yearnings, friend, to my beloved's town?
