mai to preetam ko kah rahi thi tata re
ki kaale kutte ne mujhe kata re
ho mai to preetam ko kah rahi thi tata re
ki kaale kutte ne mujhe kata re
kaale kutte ne mujhe kata re
kaale kutte ne mujhe kata re
jab preetam ko kah rahi thi tata re

pucha maine bol tune kaata mujhe kisliye
usne kaha saari teri maili dikhi isliye
are pucha maine bol tune kaata mujhe kisliye
usne kaha saari teri maili dikhi isliye
tu bhi to kala hai maine jab kaha
suna jab usne to sharma gaya
bhaga fauran chupke se phir dum ko dabaake
aur jab wo vaapas aaya to mai choki kasam se
kya dekhati hu gora kutta khada tha mere saamne aake

kaha usne tum chaaho agar kapde kare jagmag
to le aao jhilmil saabun re
kaha usne tum chaaho agar kapde kare jagmag
to le aao jhilmil sabun re
jhilmil sabun, ho jhilmil sabun
ha jhilmil sabun

saadi bulauj shut odhani pent shrt ganji
dhero kapde saaf kare ye chhoti si batti
lag jaaye kichad lag jaaye haldi ragado ise jaldi
lag jaaye kichad lag jaaye haldi ragado ise jaldi
daag ye saare mitaaye kapado ko ujlaa banaaye
ho daag ye saare mitaaye kapado ko ujlaa banaaye

pyaari pyari hai sugandh ye hai sabki pasand
budhe bachche ho chaahe sajni saajan
isne dhoom machaaye dudh jaisi hai dhulaai
karke mel ki safaai jhilmil saabun
jhilmil saabun ha jhilmil saabun

phir ek din jhilmil saabun se dhule kapdo me
mai to preetam ko kah rahi thi tata re
mai to preetam ko kah rahi thi tata re
are preetam ko kah rahi thi tata re
mue kutte ne, mue kutte ne
mue kutte ne ae mujhe chooma re
jhilmil saabun apne sukhi jeevan ke liye
hamesha istemaal kijiye

I was bidding my love adieu, a sweet farewell,
When a dark hound bit me, a sudden spell.
Oh, I was bidding my love adieu, it's true,
When a dark hound bit me, a piercing view.
The dark hound bit me, the shadow's bite,
The dark hound bit me in fading light,
As I waved goodbye, my heart did swell.

I asked, "Why this bite, this act unkind?"
He said, "Your sari, stained, I did find."
I asked, "Why this bite, this act so cruel?"
He said, "Your sari, stained, a fading jewel."
"You too are dark," I countered with a sting,
Hearing this, he blushed, a trembling thing.
He fled then, ashamed, his tail between his legs,
And when he returned, I stared, my heart in pegs.
What did I see? A white hound, before me, begs.

He said, "If you wish your clothes to gleam,
Bring forth Jhilmil soap, a vibrant dream."
He said, "If you wish your clothes to shine,
Bring forth Jhilmil soap, a design divine."
Jhilmil Soap, oh Jhilmil Soap,
Yes, Jhilmil Soap.

Saris, blouses, suits, veils, pants, shirts, singlets free,
This small bar cleanses, for all to see.
Let mud stain, let turmeric stain, rub it with glee,
Let mud stain, let turmeric stain, rub it with glee.
It erases all stains, makes clothes so bright,
Oh, it erases all stains, clothes pure in light.

A lovely scent, a scent for all,
Old and young, lovers stand tall.
It creates a sensation, cleanses like milk,
Cleansing the dirt, with Jhilmil Soap silk.
Jhilmil Soap, yes Jhilmil Soap.

Then one day, in clothes Jhilmil Soap did grace,
I was bidding my love adieu, in this sacred space.
I was bidding my love adieu, with a tender trace,
Ah, bidding my love adieu, in time and place.
The blessed dog, the blessed dog,
The blessed dog, kissed me so!
Jhilmil Soap, for your happy life,
Always use, to banish strife.
