garaj ho to nakhre dikhati hai bivi
garaj ho to nakhre dikhati hai bivi
are garaj ho to nakhre dikhati hai bivi
nahi to kaha munh lagati hai bivi
nahi to kaha munh lagati hai bivi
nahi to kaha munh lagati hai bivi
garaj ho to nakhre dikhati hai bivi

jo ye muskuraye to kuchh baat samjho
mohabbat jataye to kuchh baat samjho
bina baat surma lagati nahi ye
kabhi munh se paudar jamati nahi
ye jab bhi takhalup se taiyar hogi
koi na koi chij sarkar hogi
koi na koi chij sarkar hogi
kaha warna julfe banati hai bivi
garaj ho to nakhre dikhati hai bivi
nahi to kahan munh lagati hai bivi
garaj ho to nakhre dikhati hai bivi

haye padosan ki sadi pe dil aa gaya ho
ya sone ka laket koi bha gaya hi
sinema ye thiyetar mein jane ki dhun ho
ke bhaiya ko dulha banane ki dhun ho
kisi byah shadi ki dawat mili ho
garaj koi mahangi jarurat padi ho
garaj koi mahangi jarurat padi ho
tabhi itne kartav dikhati hai bivi
garaj ho to nakhre dikhati hai bivi
nahi to kahan munh lagati hai bivi
garaj ho to nakhre dikhati hai bivi

When need arises, my wife's airs bloom,
When need arises, my wife's airs bloom,
Ah, when need arises, my wife's airs bloom,
Else, where would she bestow her regard?
Else, where would she bestow her regard?
Else, where would she bestow her regard?
When need arises, my wife's airs bloom.

If she smiles, then heed, there's a cause,
If she feigns affection, decipher the laws,
Without reason, kohl she'll never apply,
Nor powder her face, beneath the eye.
Whenever she readies with such allure,
Some desire, a need, she's sure to secure,
Some desire, a need, she's sure to secure,
Else, why would she tend to her hair's allure?
When need arises, my wife's airs bloom,
Else, where would she bestow her regard?
When need arises, my wife's airs bloom.

Perhaps a neighbor's sari has caught her eye,
Or a golden locket, she longs to buy,
Perhaps a cinema or theatre's call,
Or a brother's wedding, encompassing all,
Some wedding feast, an invitation bright,
Or a costly need, consuming her light,
Or a costly need, consuming her light,
Then, such displays, my wife will invite,
When need arises, my wife's airs bloom,
Else, where would she bestow her regard?
When need arises, my wife's airs bloom.
