hai shukar ke tu hai ladka, ho tujhe dekh mera dil dhadka
hai shukar ke tu hai ladka, ho tujhe dekh mera dil dhadka
kya hota meri toba agar tu ladki hoti
agar tu ladki hoti, agar tu ladki hoti
agar tu ladki hoti

mai tere naj uthata ho, tujhe bag ki sair karata
mai tere naj uthata ho, tujhe bag ki sair karata
julfo me phul lagata
agar tu ladki hoti, agar tu ladki hoti
agar tu ladki hoti, agar tu ladki hoti

din to so fere teri gali me lagata
teri khidki ke niche ake siti bajata
din to so fere teri gali me lagata
teri khidki ke niche ake siti bajata
kabhi ata kabhi jata, kabhi ata kabhi jata
tujhe itna satata jina muskil ho jata
agar tu ladki hoti, agar tu ladki hoti
agar tu ladki hoti, agar tu ladki hoti

sun ho sahjade tu jo hoti sahjadi
sun ho sahjade tu jo hoti sahjadi
ab tak ho jati teri sadi, tera ghunghta uthata
tujhe ankho me basata, tujhe sari rat jagata
agar tu ladki hoti, agar tu ladki hoti
agar tu ladki hoti, agar tu ladki hoti

ya dost nahi to nahi to nahi ladki hoti
ya dost nahi to nahi to nahi ladki hoti
tere pyar me hasti teri yad me roti
toba re duhayi hoti meri ruswayi hoti
bada sarmayo hoti
agar mai ladki hoti, agar mai ladki hoti
agar mai ladki hoti, agar mai ladki hoti
hai shukar ke tu hai ladka, ho tujhe dekh mera dil dhadka
hai shukar ke tu hai ladka, ho tujhe dekh mera dil dhadka
kya hota meri toba agar tu ladki hoti
agar tu ladki hoti, agar tu ladki hoti
agar tu ladki hoti

Thank heavens, you are a boy,
My heart leaps at your sight, with joy.
Thank heavens, you are a boy,
My heart leaps at your sight, with joy.

Oh, what a world of woe, if you were a girl,
If you were a girl, if you were a girl,
If you were a girl.

I'd bear your whims with utmost grace,
And lead you through the garden's space.
I'd adorn your locks with floral lace,
If you were a girl, if you were a girl,
If you were a girl, if you were a girl.

A hundred rounds around your street I'd make,
Beneath your window, whistles I would wake.
A hundred rounds around your street I'd make,
Beneath your window, whistles I would wake.
Then come and go, again and again,
I would torment you, causing endless pain,
If you were a girl, if you were a girl,
If you were a girl, if you were a girl.

Listen, oh prince, if you were a princess fair,
Listen, oh prince, if you were a princess fair,
By now, your wedding would be in the air,
I would lift your veil with tender care,
And cherish you within my gaze,
Keeping you awake through all the days,
If you were a girl, if you were a girl,
If you were a girl, if you were a girl.

Or friend, no, no, not a girl,
Or friend, no, no, not a girl,
In your love, I would laugh, in your memory, I would cry,
Oh, what lamentation, my disgrace would lie.
Shame would be my constant sigh,
If I were a girl, if I were a girl,
If I were a girl, if I were a girl.

Thank heavens, you are a boy,
My heart leaps at your sight, with joy.
Thank heavens, you are a boy,
My heart leaps at your sight, with joy.
Oh, what a world of woe, if you were a girl,
If you were a girl, if you were a girl,
If you were a girl.
