do bechare, bina sahare
dekho puchh puchh kar haare
do bechare, bina sahare
dekho puchh puchh kar haare
bin taale ki chabhi lekar
phirte maare maare
mai hu raja, ye hai rana
o mai diwana, ye mastana
dono milke gaaye gaana
o hasina, o jara ruk jana
o jara ruk jana

o father apna aisa hua hai ghotala
o father apna aisa hua hai ghotala
mili chabhi par, mila nahi hai humko taala
agar maal milega jyada
agar maal milega jyada
tujhko de denge aadha, ye hai vada
kiya irada, koi kaam nahi hai jyada
lekin jana aadha aadha
just remember o father, ha
ye offer lelo na
o vinti sunlo na
do bechare, bina sahare
dekho puchh puchh kar haare

ek chabhi chabhi, sapne hazar
sab aar paar ka phera hai
mere taale taale kyu tu farar
bas tu hi meet ghanera hai
baje been been, nache bekarar hum
saanp saanp tu sapera hai
phir dwar dwar pite baar baar
kab in raato ka savera hai
dil taar taar, roye jaar jaar
khushiyo ka kaun savera hai
parwardigar, parwardigar
bas hume bharosa hai

tu bata de, iska milta nahi humko locker
tu bata de, iska milta nahi humko locker
ho kuch bata de
tere ban jayenge hum naukar
sasural se dekho hum aaye
sasural se dekho hum aaye
chabhi lekar pachhtaye, haye ghabraye
sar chakraye, kuch na bhaye
aake tumse hi takraye
dhakke khaye, samajh na aaye
o paape, o kuch bolo na
o kuch bolo na
do bechare, bina sahare
dekho puchh puchh kar haare
bin taale ki chabhi lekar
phirte maare maare
mai hu raja, ye hai rana
o mai diwana, ye mastana
dono milke gaaye gaana
o hasina, o jara ruk jana
o jara ruk jana

Two wretches, bereft of all hold,
Weary of questions, stories untold.
Two wretches, with naught to behold,
Weary of questions, their spirits sold.
With a key, though the lock is unseen,
They wander the world, ever keen.
I am the King, he a knight so bold,
I am the mad, he a story to be sold.
Together we sing, our voices entwine,
"O maiden, please tarry, and be mine!"
Oh, please, oh, pause, and be mine.

Oh Father, a scandal, a truth to impart,
Oh Father, a wound that tears at my heart.
The key we possess, but the lock is apart.
If riches we find, a treasure to start,
If riches we find, a treasure to start,
Half of the spoils, you shall play your part.
We make this vow, a promise to keep,
Though the task be vast, the promise is deep.
Remember, oh Father, and heed our plea,
Embrace this offer, and set our souls free.
Oh, heed our plea, our despair you must see,
Two wretches, bereft, longing to be free.
Weary of questions, their spirits to flee.

A key in hand, a thousand dreams born,
Through and through, the cycle is torn.
My lock, my lock, why do you turn and scorn?
You are my friend, the darkest night's morn.
The snake charmer plays, the snake takes his form,
Drums beat, we dance, in the gathering storm.
From door to door, we've knocked without end,
When will the dawn, our troubles to mend?
The heart is torn, in tears, we descend,
What light will bring, where joy will extend?
Oh God, oh God, my soul I now bend,
In your grace alone, our trust we extend.

Tell me, tell me, where the answer lies,
Tell me, tell me, where the answer lies.
Show me the way, open my eyes,
And we'll be servants, beneath your skies.
From my in-laws, I came with a sigh,
From my in-laws, I came with a cry.
With the key in hand, the reasons fly.
Confusion swirls, the darkness nigh.
I stumble and fall, beneath the dark sky.
I come to you now, and I ask you why?
Oh Father, oh Father, what must I try?
Oh Father, oh Father, please reply.
Two wretches, bereft, longing to be free,
Weary of questions, their spirits to flee.
With a key, though the lock is unseen,
They wander the world, ever keen.
I am the King, he a knight so bold,
I am the mad, he a story to be sold.
Together we sing, our voices entwine,
"O maiden, please tarry, and be mine!"
Oh, please, oh, pause, and be mine.
