ek dupatta do do mawali ek dupatta do do mawali
gali gali bat chali gali gali bat
chali samjhe sabhi mujhe sali
mujhse jawani na jaye sambhali

ek dupatta do do mawali ek dupatta do do mawali
gali gali bat chali gali gali bat chali
samjhe sabhi mujhe sali mujhse jawani na jaye sambhali
ek dupatta do do mawali ek dupatta do do mawali

lelo lelo tum lelo apni baho me
koi banana chahe adhi gharwali
koi banana chahe puri gharwali
koi banana chahe adhi gharwali
koi banana chahe puri gharwali
sare mohalle ki niyat badal gayi
jani jawani ne afat me dali gali
gali bat chali gali gali bat chali
samjhe sabhi mujhe sali mujhse jawani na jaye sambhali
ek dupatta do do mawali ek dupatta do do mawali

khelo khelo tum khelo pyar ki
raho me warna koi mujhe latka dega
dil ko mere jhatka dega do pal mujhko baho me kaskar
sari umaar ko bhatka dega gali
gali bat chali gali gali bat chali
samjhe sabhi mujhe sali mujhse jawani na jaye sambhali
ek dupatta do do mawali ek dupatta do do mawali

A shawl, a shawl, two rogues pursue,
A shawl, a shawl, two rogues pursue.
Whispers spread in every lane,
Whispers spread, a growing stain.
They see me as a woman scorned,
My youth, a burden, barely born.

A shawl, a shawl, two rogues pursue,
A shawl, a shawl, two rogues pursue.
Whispers spread in every lane,
Whispers spread, a growing stain.
They see me as a woman scorned,
My youth, a burden, barely born.
A shawl, a shawl, two rogues pursue,
A shawl, a shawl, two rogues pursue.

Embrace me, take me in your arms,
Some seek a wife, a life's new charms.
Some seek a wife, a life's new charms.
Some seek a wife, a life's new charms.
Some seek a wife, a life's new charms.
The neighborhood's desires ignite,
My youth, a storm, a burning blight.
Whispers spread in every lane,
Whispers spread, a growing stain.
They see me as a woman scorned,
My youth, a burden, barely born.
A shawl, a shawl, two rogues pursue,
A shawl, a shawl, two rogues pursue.

Play on, play on, love's fleeting game,
Or else, a noose, a life of shame.
My heart astray, my spirit bound,
A moment's clasp, then lost profound.
The whole life astray.
Whispers spread in every lane,
Whispers spread, a growing stain.
They see me as a woman scorned,
My youth, a burden, barely born.
A shawl, a shawl, two rogues pursue,
A shawl, a shawl, two rogues pursue.
