apne kothe main khadi
khili chandani raat bedardi aaja re
bedardi aaja re kar le do do baat
bedardi aaja re apne ko the main khda
soch rahaa ye baat padosan jaag rahi
padosan jaag rahi jaag rahi kamazaat

ise samajha re bedardii aaja re
apani umariya kha ke budhiya
kahe hame sataye re apni umariya
khidkii ke pat khol ke baithe
kaun ise samajhaye re khidki ke pat
haath jod kar kah do unse
biti jaye raat bedardi aaja re

do dilo ko ki dadi ban ke
duniya ne munh phera redo dilo ki
ab to balam tum bhi maano
ye jag rain basera re ab to baalam
man ka panchhi bol raha
koi kare pyar kii baat bedardii aajaa re

Upon my balcony I stand,
As moonlight spills, a cruel embrace.
Come, ruthless one, and take my hand,
Speak words that time cannot erase.
Come, ruthless one, within my gaze,
Upon my balcony I wait,
And ponder thoughts that fill the haze,
While neighbor stirs, sealed by fate.
Neighbor awakes, a restless soul,
A being lost, beyond control.

Understand this, come, ruthless one,
This aging woman, time has spent,
Why torment us, the setting sun?
Her fleeting years, a discontent.
The window's open, she's awake,
Who shall explain this anguished plea?
With folded hands, our hearts will break,
As night unfurls, relentlessly.
Come, ruthless one, the hours flee.

As gossips shape, in grandmothers' guise,
The world has turned its face away,
From loving hearts, beneath the skies.
My love, now heed what I convey.
This world, a traveler's fleeting stay.
My heart's sweet bird now starts to sing,
Of love's true words, come what may.
Of tender words, that joy will bring.
Come, ruthless one, to make love's start.
