akeli akeli chhod gayo re
bedardi akeli chhod gayo
akeli akeli chhod gayo re
bedardi akeli chhod gayo
bindiya saja de sindur laga ke
bindiya saja de sindur laga ke
apni bana ke dil tod gayo
akeli akeli chhod gayo re
bedardi akeli chhod gayo
akeli akeli chhod gayo re
bedardi akeli chhod gayo

main soi taklo sang kheli
main soi taklo sang kheli
jab jagi tab haye akeli
jab jagi tab haye akeli
chhalki gagriya chhod gayo re
bedardi akeli chhod gayo
akeli akeli chhod gayo re
bedardi akeli chhod gayo

hath pakad kar laya tha jo
hath pakad kar laya tha jo
hath chhuda kar chala gaya wo
hath chhuda kar chala gaya wo
apna bana kar chhod gayo
bedardi akeli chhod gayo

Abandoned, left all alone,
The heartless one, left me alone.
Abandoned, left all alone,
The heartless one, left me alone.

Adorned with a bindi, sindoor applied,
Promised me love, then broke my heart.
Abandoned, left all alone,
The heartless one, left me alone.
Abandoned, left all alone,
The heartless one, left me alone.

I dreamt, played with dreams so sweet,
Awakened to emptiness, defeat.
The brimming pitcher, he left behind,
The heartless one, left me confined.
Abandoned, left all alone,
The heartless one, left me alone.

He held my hand, brought me near,
Then let go, fueled by fear.
Claimed me as his, then walked away,
The heartless one, stole my day.
