dekhi dilli ki ek ladaki jisko dekh tabiyat phadaki
mukh se aah nikal gai thadi andar-andar aag si bhadaki
usaka naam gharana pucha usaka thaur-thikana pucha
apne dil ki umange lekar pahucha mai usake bangle par
apne dil ki umange lekar pahucha mai usake bangle par
jaate hi jhuk ke salaam bajaya daddy ko dil kaa bayan sunaya
bhole-bhaale daddy bole haan haan ji
bhole-bhaale daddy bole haan haan ji
haan haan ji
achaa khyal hai apaka dijie mujhe pata apne baap ka
apake baap ko chitthi ke zarie bata dunga
ji achaa khyal hai apaka

chaay pilaun ke thanda magaun oy hoy oy hoy
chaay pilaun ke thanda magaun
ke murgi ke ade ki bhurji banaun
chaay pilaun ke thanda magaun
ke murgi ke ade ki bhurji banaun

hans kar jab vo ladaki boli mere dil pe chal gai goli
mere man ke batashe tute aakhir maan gae prabhu ruthe
teri jay-jay ho karataar

Leap into the well, and embrace the end,
My friend, you must not wed.
My friend, you must not wed,
Never, never,
Never,
Leap into the well.

I saw a Delhi girl, her beauty a sudden spark,
My heart did leap, a cold sigh escaped, yet fire ignited within.
I asked her name, her lineage, the place she dwelled,
Carrying hopes of my heart, I arrived at her home.
Carrying hopes of my heart, I arrived at her home.
Bowing low, I gave greeting, and spoke my heart's plight to her father,
The innocent father said, yes, yes, my son,
The innocent father said, yes, yes, my son,
Yes, yes, my son.
A good thought you have, give me your father's name,
I will inform your father through a letter,
Yes, a good thought you have.

Shall I offer tea, or bring a cold drink? Oh, my, oh my, oh my,
Shall I offer tea, or bring a cold drink?
Or make scrambled eggs from a hen's offering?
Shall I offer tea, or bring a cold drink?
Or feed you eggs, or make scrambled eggs?

When she laughed, the girl, a bullet struck my heart,
The bubbles of my mind burst, alas, God, you relented.
Glory to you, Creator,
Glory to you, Creator,
Glory to you, Creator,
Glory to you, Creator, oh,
Glory to you, Creator, oh,
Glory to you, Creator, oh,
Glory to you, Creator,
Oh, dear lord.
At that moment, her brother arrived, a cruel butcher,
He said,

Get out, you face of lentils, begone,
Get out, you face of lentils, begone,
You child of a scoundrel,
Her brother was a heavy boxer,
Her brother was a heavy boxer,
And prepared for an attack,
I fled with my tail between my legs,
And the raven of my heart cawed on the road,
What then?
Leap into the well, and embrace the end.
