chali pee ke nagar ab kahe ka dar
more bake ho more bake balam kotwal
ho more bake balam kotwal
chali pee ke nagar ab kahe ka dar
more bake ho more bake balam kotwal
ho more bake balam kotwal

apne piya ki, apne piya ki mai kotwalli
maru najariya dil howe chali maru najariya dil howe chali
mehandi se hatheli hai lal mehandi se hatheli hai lal
more bake ho more bake balam kotwal
ho more bake balam kotwal

banke dulhaniya mai itrau banke dulhaniya mai itrau
ab na kisi se aankh milau ab na kisi se aankh milau
mohe dekhe ye kiski majal mohe dekhe ye kiski majal
more ho more bake balam kotwal
ho more bake balam kotwal

ghar me balam ke ghar me balam ke raj karungi
sas nanad se mai na darungi sas nanad se mai na darungi
devra ko mai dungi nikal devra ko mai dungi nikal
more ho more bake balam kotwal
ho more bake balam kotwal
chali pee ke nagar ab kahe ka dar
more bake ho more bake balam kotwal
ho more bake balam kotwal

Now I journey, to His city I go, what fear remains?
My Beloved, my bold one, my Constable.
Oh, my Beloved, my Constable.
Now I journey, to His city I go, what fear remains?
My Beloved, my bold one, my Constable.
Oh, my Beloved, my Constable.

In my Beloved's, in my Beloved's constabulary I dwell,
My gaze, a piercing arrow, heart pierced and rent,
My gaze, a piercing arrow, heart pierced and rent.
My palms, stained crimson with henna,
My palms, stained crimson with henna.
My Beloved, my bold one, my Constable.
Oh, my Beloved, my Constable.

A bride I become, in this embrace I revel,
No longer shall I meet another's eye,
No longer shall I meet another's eye.
Who dares to gaze upon me?
Who dares to gaze upon me?
My Beloved, my bold one, my Constable.
Oh, my Beloved, my Constable.

In my Beloved's home, in my Beloved's home, I shall reign,
No fear I hold for the mother-in-law, or sister-in-law,
No fear I hold for the mother-in-law, or sister-in-law.
The brother-in-law, I shall banish from my sight.
The brother-in-law, I shall banish from my sight.
My Beloved, my bold one, my Constable.
Oh, my Beloved, my Constable.
Now I journey, to His city I go, what fear remains?
My Beloved, my bold one, my Constable.
Oh, my Beloved, my Constable.
