mohe kar de bida deke pyar
re kab se doli leke khade hai tahare
re babul ka hai soche
re babul kya hai soche
mohe kar de bida deke pyar

aaj tere ghar ki jyoti daman me lekar moti
aaj tere ghar ki jyoti daman me lekar moti
par ki aakar pahuchegi joyti
par ki aakar pahuchegi joyti
mohe kar do bida

laut na jaye barati ruthe na jiwan sathi
laut na jaye barati ruthe na jiwan sathi
beet na jaye ghadi muhurat ki
mohe kar de bida deke pyar
mohe kar de bida deke pyar
re kab se doli leke khade hai tahare
re babul ka hai soche re babul kya hai soche

Kiss me goodbye, with love's farewell,
They wait with the palanquin, a silent swell.
Father's heart, what shadows loom?
Father's heart, what whispers consume?
Kiss me goodbye, with love's farewell.

From your home, a star I take,
Gems of light, my soul to make.
Across the river, I shall gleam,
Across the river, a waking dream.
Kiss me goodbye.

May the wedding party not depart,
May my life's companion find his heart.
Let not the moment fleeting be,
Kiss me goodbye, with love's decree.
Kiss me goodbye, with love's farewell,
They wait with the palanquin, a silent swell.
Father's heart, what shadows loom?
Father's heart, what whispers consume?
