babul ka ghar chhod ke gori ho gayi aaj parai re
doli dekh jiyara dole aankh neer bhar layi re

pyari jag ki reet ri sakhiyo kaun kisi ka meet ri sakhiyo
pyari jag ki reet ri sakhiyo kaun kisi ka meet ri sakhiyo
jhuthi sabki preet sakhiyo kisne preet nibhayi re
babul ka ghar chhod ke gori ho gayi aaj parai re
doli dekh jiyara dole aankh neer bhar layi re

jin galiyo me bachpan bita kholi aankh jawani ne
un galiyo se kiya kinara sakhiyo ki patrani ne
bhaiya ka man bhar bhar aaye chhod chali maa jayi re
babul ka ghar chhod ke gori ho gayi aaj parai re
doli dekh jiyara dole aankh neer bhar layi re

khet kyar me kho kar gori hamko bhul na jana
roz nahi to kabhi kabhi do aksar likh bhijwana
dhire dhire madhur suro me yahi kahe sahnayi re
babul ka ghar chhod ke gori ho gayi aaj parai re
doli dekh jiyara dole aankh neer bhar layi re
babul ka ghar chhod ke gori ho gayi aaj parai re
doli dekh jiyara dole aankh neer bhar layi re

Leaving father's house, a daughter becomes a stranger,
Seeing the palanquin, the heart trembles, eyes overflow with tears.

Unique is the world's way, friends, who is anyone's true companion?
Unique is the world's way, friends, who is anyone's true companion?
False is everyone's love, friends, who has truly loved?
Leaving father's house, a daughter becomes a stranger,
Seeing the palanquin, the heart trembles, eyes overflow with tears.

In the lanes where childhood played, where youth's eyes first opened,
She bids farewell to those lanes, the queen of her friends.
The brother's heart swells with sorrow, leaving her mother's womb.
Leaving father's house, a daughter becomes a stranger,
Seeing the palanquin, the heart trembles, eyes overflow with tears.

Lost in love, forget us not, my beloved,
If not daily, then now and then, send a few words in writing.
In sweet, slow melodies, this the shehnai does say,
Leaving father's house, a daughter becomes a stranger,
Seeing the palanquin, the heart trembles, eyes overflow with tears.
Leaving father's house, a daughter becomes a stranger,
Seeing the palanquin, the heart trembles, eyes overflow with tears.
