jo mummy ki aankho ke tare the ham tum
to daidy ke dil ke sahare the ham tum
ye bada luft tha jab
o kuaare the ham tum suno ji
bada luft tha jab
kuaare the ham tum suno ji
bada luft tha jab
kuaare the ham tum suno ji
bada luft tha jab

main hero tha kitano ka shadi se pahle
hangama fitano ka shadi se pahle
badi byutiful thi jawani ki raate
haseeno se hoti thi rangeen bate
mujhe yaad hain aaj tak wo jamana
hseeno ke jamght me picknick manana
magar ban gayi jabse tu meri dulhan
meri jindagi ban gayi ek uljhan
jo shadi hui to baje mere barah
meri har khushi ho gayi nau do gyarah
teri budhi maa ne kabhi mujhko danta
kabhi ban gaya tera baap dil me kanta
kabhi jaan ko aa gaye tere bhaai
kabhi tere bahano ne ki hatha paayi
aur us par sitam har baras ek bachcha
chalo ab mujhi ko chaba jaao kachcha
hua har maja kirkira aashiqi ka
samajh lo janaja utha jindagi ka
paresha ho tum aur main hakka bakka
sagayi ne hamko kahi ka na rakkha
ye chamkte damkte sitare the ham tum
aji bada luft tha jab
kuaare the ham tum suno ji
bada luft tha jab
kuaare the ham tum suno ji
bada luft tha jab
kuaare the ham tum suno ji
bada luft tha jab
kuaare the ham tum suno ji
bada luft tha jab

na jab tak huyi thi meri tumse shadi
main lakho ke spno ki thi shahjadi
mere age pichhe tahlte the kitane
jagati thi jaadu uthati thi fitane
na bahno se darna na bhayiya se darna
kayi baar dinbhar me banan sanwarna
magar tumne kuchh aisa chakkar chalaya
mohabbat ke fande me mujhko fasaya
kabhi naaj fathar maother ka uthaya
kabhi bhai bahno ko mashka lagaya
mana tumse dhokha bada kha gayi main
tumhari dulhan ban ke pachhta gyai main
jo kahti hun main la do hontho ki laali
to kahte ho fauran hain jeb kali
jo kahti hu main la do pajeb kangan
to kahte ho maajo abhi aur bartan
padi kis ke palle khudaya
koi dil ka arman nikalne na paya
fir khush jab na ulfat ke mare the ham tum
bada luft tha jab
kuaare the ham tum suno ji
bada luft tha jab
kuaare the ham tum suno ji
bada luft tha jab
kuaare the ham tum suno ji
bada luft tha jab

ye ghar ki masayal ye bachchi ki jhanjhat
aur uspar wo din raat ki tumse khat pat
kabhi thakthakar jo daftar se aana
tumhare hi ardar pe bachce khilana
tumhara ye kahana nahi ghar me aata
meri iltejaa mat pakao paratha
tumhara ye kahana ki munni ke abba
hua khatam ghar me jo tha ghi ka dibba
ho saita ki tum beti bhuto ki khala
mere ghar ka tumse nikala diwala
meri tumne faisan se lutiya dubo di
bade hokar bachcho ne bhi kabr khodi
jo aaye bahu aur damad tauba
gajab dha gayi unki aulad tauba
mere pichhe padte hain wo haath dhokar
banaya hain fonfo nawaso ne jokar
na tum naani banti na main banta nana
na ghar banta mere liye jel khana
jo shadi na hoti to kuchh bhi na hota
na tum mujhko roti na main tumko rota
hui bhul mujhse jo shadi rachai
ki dkhud jindagi apani kadvi banai
to mohabbat ke mithe chhuhare the ham tum
ye ye bada luft tha jab
kuaare the ham tum suno ji
bada luft tha jab
kuaare the ham tum suno ji
bada luft tha jab
kuaare the ham tum suno ji
bada luft tha jab

tumhe ghar ka jhanjhat jo lagaya hain bhari
to ban jaate sauhar ke badale madari
jo sauhar bane ho to nakhkre bhi jhelo
kaha kisne tha pyaar ka khel khelo
jo dulha bane ho to fir funko chulha
jhulao nawasho ka poto ka jhula
milaye the kanjus sauhar ke tauba
muh futa hain mera mukaddar ke tauba
tumhare dukho ne ye halat bana di
are kaash main tumse karti na shadi
kabhi yu ham dono barbad hote
main ajad hoti to najad hote
kaha is kadar beshare the ham tum
aje bada luft tha jab
kuaare the ham tum suno ji
bada luft tha jab
kuaare the ham tum suno ji
bada luft tha jab
kuaare the ham tum suno ji
bada luft tha jab
ye jivan ye shadi ka ianjan
ye do pal ka sukh jindagi bhar ki uljhan
muhammad gali ham to rassi me kaskar
huy khaye ham to ghar ke lafado me fanskar

We, the darlings of our mothers' eyes,
We, the solace in our fathers' sighs,
Oh, the joy, the sweet, untethered grace,
Of bachelorhood's free, untroubled space!
Oh, the joy, the sweet, untroubled space!

I, a hero in a thousand eyes,
Before the wedding, beneath the skies,
A whirlwind of passions, a vibrant hue,
Youth's nights ablaze, with dreams anew,
With beauty's whispers, a siren's call,
Remember those times, embracing all,
Picnics and laughter, a joyous throng,
In the embrace of youthful song.
But when you became my wedded mate,
My life transformed, sealed by fate,
When marriage came, the bells did toll,
My every joy lost its very soul.
Your old mother, with sharpest sting,
Your father, a thorn, on sorrow's wing,
Your brothers, their tempers flared so bright,
Your sisters, locked in a bitter fight.

And then, each year, a child to raise,
Consume me whole, in life's cruel maze!
The thrill of love, now turned to dust,
My life's procession, in fear and rust.
You, bewildered, and I, in despair,
Our engagement, a burden to bear.
We, the stars, that once did gleam,
Oh, the joy, of a bachelor's dream!
Oh, the joy, of a bachelor's dream!
Oh, the joy, the sweet, untroubled space!

Before our vows, my love, so sweet,
A princess in dreams, in every street,
So many admirers, they would pursue,
I'd cast a spell, with a glance or two.
No fear of sisters, nor brothers' frown,
A dozen times, I'd dress around,
But you, my love, you wove your spell,
Entrapped my heart, I fell, I fell.
Your father's blessing, I'd feign to please,
Your brothers and sisters, I'd try to appease,
Oh, I was deceived, by your charm,
I regret the day, when I took your arm.
If I plead for lipsticks, a vibrant shade,
You cry, "The purse is empty, my maid!"
If bangles I crave, or anklets' chime,
You say, "The dishes, you must climb!"
Who will wash the dishes? Who will pay?
My heart's desires, forever astray.
We, the lovers, once kissed by the sun.
Oh, the joy, of a life yet to be run!
Oh, the joy, the sweet, untroubled space!

The household's burdens, the children's cries,
And then, the battles, before our eyes.
Weary from work, I return,
To follow your orders, a lesson to learn,
You say, "No flour, the pantry is bare,"
"Don't bake the bread," I must bear.
You say, "Munni's father, the ghee is gone!"
My home's ruin, you have drawn.
You are the devil's daughter, a demon's kin,
You've destroyed my home, from within!
My fashion sense, you have undone,
The children's grown, and the graveyard's begun!
When the daughter-in-law, and son-in-law, arrive,
Their offspring, they're taking my life!
They hound me, and make me a clown,
My grandchildren, are dragging me down!
You, no grandmother, and I, no granddad,
My home, a prison, oh so sad!
Had we not married, none of this would be,
Neither you would weep, nor I, so wearily.
Oh, the mistake, to make you my bride,
We made our lives, so bitter inside.
We, once the sweet dates of love's desire,
Oh, the joy, of a life yet higher!
Oh, the joy, the sweet, untroubled space!

If home's burdens weigh upon your heart,
Become a juggler, a different art!
If you're a husband, bear the pain,
Who told you to enter this love game?
If you're the groom, then light the fire,
Swing the grandbabies, and higher.
We married a miser, and fate's cruel hand,
My mouth, now open to the land,
Your sorrows have made me so frail,
Oh, if only I hadn't set sail,
We were once, both, so badly broken,
If I were free, and no promise spoken,
We were not so helpless, oh so low,
Oh, the joy, the sweet untroubled flow!
Oh, the joy, of a bachelor's dream!
Oh, the joy, the sweet, untroubled space!
This life, this marriage, a turning wheel,
A moment's joy, a lifetime's ordeal,
We, the lovers, tied by the thread,
Lost in the home, forever misled.
