aye ghuncha dahan bekas dulha
aye seam badan bekas dulha
mujre ke liye aayi haye
uttho naashaad dulhan bekas dulha
duniya se nayi ye shaadi hai
dono he taraf barbaadi hai
shabbir ki beti bewah dulhan
aur ibne hassan bekas dulha

haye khowf mujhe naaraaz na ho
marzi hai tumhaari kya bolo
main haath mein ab kangna rakhu
ya rakhu rasan bekas dulha
humnaam hu main bhi daadi ki
haye tumko qasm is shaadi ki
banwaado mujhe bhi rone ko
ek baithul hazan bekas dulha

ye beqabri mujhse qasim chilthey hai
mere paonchey qasim
khulwa do ke uljhi jaati haye
kangne mein rasan bekas dulha

O, bud-mouthed, forlorn groom,
O, silver-bodied, forlorn groom,
Here I come to dance, alas,
Unhappy bride, forlorn groom.

A new wedding, this world's deceit,
Destruction on both sides we meet.
Shabbir's daughter, a widowed bride,
And Ibn-e-Hasan, forlorn groom.

Fear chills me, do not be angry,
Tell me, what is your decree?
Shall I keep bangles on my hand?
Or hold the rope, forlorn groom?

I share a name with your grandmother,
By this marriage, I implore,
Grant me a place for weeping, too,
A mourning tent, forlorn groom.

This pride, it pains me, Kasim,
My ankles, Kasim,
Release them, they are tangled, alas,
In the bangles, the rope, forlorn groom.
