bikhri late hai teri, nain kare batiya
lagta hai soyi nahi kal sari ratiya
baali teri khoyi khoyi, kahan gayi nathiya
lagta hai soyi nahi kal sari ratiya
in uljhi lato ko, kisne chhua tha
chudiya kyu tuti, kal kya hua tha
in uljhi lato ko, kisne chhua tha
chudiya kyu tuti, kal kya hua tha
sajna ve chhedo na, aisi baate bolo na
mar jaungi main sharam ke maare
bhed raat ke kholo na
sajna ve chhedo na, aisi baate bolo na
mar jaungi main sharam ke maare
bhed raat ke kholo na

khadi kaahe chunar honth me dabaye
najre jhuka ke dhime dhime muskaye
ho khadi kaahe chunar honth me dabaye
najre jhuka ke dhime dhime muskaye
kisne te teri halat banayi
kaliyo me phulo ki rangat milayi
hume bhi batana kahani sunana
hey kal kya hua
in uljhi lato ko, kisne chhua tha
chudiya kyu tuti, kal kya hua tha
in uljhi lato ko, kisne chhua tha
chudiya kyu tuti, kal kya hua tha

kal tak ye teri chunar thi kori
silwat padi kyu, bol jara o ri
lajaa ki chadar kyu odh aayi
chanchal adaye kahan chhod aayi
badli si kyu hai saanso ki sargam
kal tak tha panchan, ab kaahe maddham
tere sath main hi to tha
par mujhe kyu, kuch na hua
haye bikhri late hai teri, nain kare batiya
lagta hai soyi nahi kal sari ratiya
in uljhi lato ko, kisne chhua tha
chudiya kyu tuti, kal kya hua tha
in uljhi lato ko, kisne chhua tha
chudiya kyu tuti, kal kya hua tha

Your tresses, scattered wide, eyes whisper tales,
It seems you slept not through the night's dark veils.
Your earring lost, your nose-ring vanished, where?
It seems you slept not, burdened by despair.
Who tangled up these locks, so free and long?
Why are your bangles broken, where did things go wrong?
Who tangled up these locks, so free and long?
Why are your bangles broken, where did things go wrong?
Beloved, cease these words, these questioning cries,
I'll perish now, beneath shame's shadowed skies.
Don't speak of secrets, hidden in the night,
Beloved, cease these words, these questioning cries,
I'll perish now, beneath shame's shadowed skies.
Don't speak of secrets, hidden in the night,

Why holds your veil, so close against your lips?
With downcast eyes, a smile so softly slips.
Why holds your veil, so close against your lips?
With downcast eyes, a smile so softly slips.
Who wrought this change, this altering of you?
Mingling the colors, of dawn's tender hue.
Tell us the tale, the story that unfolds,
Oh, what befell, as the night's darkness holds?
Who tangled up these locks, so free and long?
Why are your bangles broken, where did things go wrong?
Who tangled up these locks, so free and long?
Why are your bangles broken, where did things go wrong?

Your veil, pristine, untouched, until this morn,
Why are there creases, tell me, where were you born?
Why does modesty, her cloak, embrace you now?
Where did you leave, your playful, lively vow?
Your breath, a different song, a softer plea,
Once filled with fire, now, what can this be?
I was there with you, it's true,
But why, then, did nothing happen to me too?
Your tresses, scattered wide, eyes whisper tales,
It seems you slept not through the night's dark veils.
Who tangled up these locks, so free and long?
Why are your bangles broken, where did things go wrong?
Who tangled up these locks, so free and long?
Why are your bangles broken, where did things go wrong?
