oho kankariyan maare karke ishaare
balma bada baimaan
sabko hansaye humko rulayein
balma bada baimaan

ghar se nikalne na de balma
raste me baitha rahe balma
ghar se nikalne na de balma
raste me baitha rahe balma
dekhe tamasha ye dekhe tamasha ye sare
kankariyan maare karke ishaare
balma bada baimaan

kaise bedardi se pala pada
mori akal pe bhi tala pada

He, with stones, throws his sly design,
My love, a rogue, a heartless shrine.
He makes them laugh, their joy to swell,
But leaves my spirit in a cell.

He bars my door, my freedom’s breach,
Lies in wait, beyond my reach.
He bars my door, my freedom’s breach,
Lies in wait, beyond my reach.
A spectacle for all to see,
With stones he mocks, relentlessly.
My love, a rogue, a heartless shrine.

How cruelly, fate has bound my soul,
My reason lost, beyond control.
