choti sethani ji bolo lala hazari ji
suno choti sethani ji
tere firaak me hum to ho gaye badnam
lala hazari ji
tere bazar me, mai bhi bik gayi bedaam

mukhda dikhake aankhe churake
bachke na jana gauri ho gauri
mukhda dikhake aankhe churake
bachke na jana gauri ho gauri
mehandi rachake bindiya lagake
aayi hu tori dhori sajan ghar dhori
jab raaji ho tum to jhagde ka kya kam
choti sethani ji bolo lala hazari ji
suno choti sethani ji
tere firaak me hum to ho gaye badnam

bhaado ki sham hai
bhado ki sham hai
hotho pe jam hai
ab to aaram hai
teri judai din ankhiya bhigoyegi
ankhiya bhigoyegi
mai to janu jahan me had hoyegi
jahan me had hoyegi
tum ho to ? laila
tum ho to ? laila

Little mistress, speak, Lala Hazari,
Listen, little mistress, hear me.
Lost in your longing, I am now defamed,
Lala Hazari,
In your market, I was sold for nothing.

Showing your face, hiding your eyes,
Do not flee, fair one, fair one.
Showing your face, hiding your eyes,
Do not flee, fair one, fair one.
With henna adorning, a bindi shining,
I come to your threshold, lover's home.
When you are content, what need for strife?
Little mistress, speak, Lala Hazari,
Listen, little mistress, hear me.
Lost in your longing, I am now defamed.

A Bhadon evening,
A Bhadon evening,
A goblet at my lips,
Now there's solace.
Your absence will again drown my eyes,
Drown my eyes.
I know the world will reach its limit,
The world will reach its limit.
With you, a Layla,
With you, a Layla.
