ruthe-ruthe piya manaun kaise
ruthe-ruthe piya manaun kaise
aaj na jane bat hui kya kyo ruthe mujhse
jab tak vo na bole mujhse
mai samajhun kaise ruthe-ruthe piya piya
ruthe-ruthe piya manaun kaise ruthe-ruthe piya

vo baithe hai kuch aise shadi me dulhan jaise
kya ban ke dulha mai jaun
aur unki mang sajaun
lambi dulhan thigana dulha
lambi dulhan thigana dulha
jodi jame kaise ruthe-ruthe ruthe-ruthe
ruthe-ruthe piya manaun kaise ruthe-ruthe piya

par nain mila na paun sautan chashma bich me aae
sautan chashma bich me ae nain mile kaise
ruthe-ruthe piya ruthe-ruthe piya manaun kaise
aj na jane bat hui kya kyo ruthe mujhse
jab tak vo na bole mujhse
mai samajhun kaise ruthe-ruthe piya
ruthe-ruthe piya manaun kaise ruthe-ruthe piya

How to appease my angered love?
How to appease my angered love?
Today, what unspoken word has passed,
That draws his ire?
Until he speaks,
How can I know?

He sits, a bride in silent pique,
And should I be the groom,
To paint the parting of his hair?
A long-limbed bride, a dwarfed groom,
How can such pairing thrive?
How to appease my angered love?

Are books more fair than I?
He clasps them close, in loving grace.
I long to meet his eyes,
But cannot.
A mistress, spectacles between,
How can eyes meet?
How to appease my angered love?
Today, what unspoken word has passed,
That draws his ire?
Until he speaks,
How can I know?
How to appease my angered love?
