bazuband khul khul jaye bazuband khul khul jaye
ho bedardi balma bazuband khul khul jaye
lakh jatan kar birhan lage lakh jatan kar birhan lage
mane na mane jhuthi tumhari preet re
mane na mane jhuthi tumhari preet re
bazuband khul khul jaye bazuband khul khul jaye
ho bedardi balma bazuband khul khul jaye

o o sajan bin jane na koi jab hum tumse liye prit
ab preet laga dukh dil vich hoye ye konse desh ki rit
o o janam janam ki reet ko na jane to janam atharath jaye
chahe mane na mane meri prit chahe mane na mane meri prit
meet mitawa re bazuband khul khul jaye
bazuband khul khul jaye ho bedardi balma
bazuband khul khul jaye khul khul jaye
bazuband khul khul jaye bazuband khul khul jaye

The armlet loosens, falls away,
The faithless lover, armlet slips away.
A thousand efforts, grief takes hold,
Your love, a falsehood, stories told,
Your love, a falsehood, stories told.
The armlet loosens, falls away,
The faithless lover, armlet slips away.

O, beloved, none understand,
When I offered love, hand in hand.
Now love brings sorrow, pain's decree,
What custom is this, you and me?
O, unaware of life's long strain,
A life unlived, a wasted reign.
Whether you believe or not, my love remains,
Whether you believe or not, my love remains.
Friend, companion, the armlet slips away,
The armlet loosens, falls away, faithless lover,
The armlet slips away, slips away,
The armlet loosens, falls away,
The armlet loosens, falls away.
