Translation |
| Sada chidiyan da chamba ve | We are a flock of sparrows |
| Babul asan udh jana | Dear father, we'll fly away |
| Sadi lambi udari ve | Our flight is very long |
| Babul kede des jana | Dear father, where should I go |
|
|
| Surkh jode ki yeh jagmagahat | The shine of this red dress |
| Shokh bindiya ki yeh jhilmilahat | The twinkling of this pert bindi |
| Chhudiyon ka yeh rangeen tarana | The sound from these colourful bangles |
| Dhadkano ka yeh sapna suhana | The beautiful dream of my heartbeats |
| Jaga jaga sa kajre ka jadoo | The magic of kohl lined eyes has awakened |
| Bheeni bheeni si gajre ki kushuboo | The slight fragrance of flowers |
| Naram hothon ka yeh kapkapana | The shivering of these soft lips |
| Garam chehre ka yeh tamtamana | The glow of this warm face |
| Jism ka mehka mehka paseena | The aroma from the sweat of the body |
| Husn ka dehka dehka nageena | This diamond like body |
| Jhanjharon ka yeh tham thamke bajna | The jingling of these anklets |
| Yeh sawarna, nikharna, yeh sajna | This getting ready, this adornment |
| Kiski khatir hai kiske liye hai | Is for whom and why |
| Kiski khatir hai kiske liye hai | Is for whom and why |

| Tere mehlan de vich vich ve | Through your mansion's door |

| Tere mehlan de vich vich ve | Through your mansion's door |

| Dhiye ghar ja apne | O daughter, go to your home |
| Ik it puta devan | I'll have a tree uprooted |
| Dhiye ghar ja apne | O daughter, go to your home |
