meri sakhiyo bolo jara mukhda to kholo
meri sakhiyo bolo jara mukhda to kholo
batlao is pagal ko ab hum kya saja de
milke insaf kar do, kar do na
kahu mai hath jod ke bas tum me ek chhod ke
kahu mai hath jod ke bas tum me ek chhod ke
o meri mata o, o meri behano
mujhko mnaf kar do kar do na, mujhko maf kar do

dekho jane na paye bahon me badke isko jakad lo
bhola sa hai bechara thodi mohabbat ise bhi karlo
haye kaisi mohabbat main janta hun
ye sari bate dekhu samjhu
main tumko mere bhi sar hai do aankhe
iska sar tahlake or tabla bjake
iska sar tahlake or tabla bjake
iski dono aaknkho me sitare nacha de
iski din me rat kar de ha kar de na
iski din me rat kar de
kahun main hath jod ke bas tum me ek chhod ke
kahun main hath jod ke bas tum me ek chhod ke
o meri mata o, o meri behano
mujhko mnaf kar do kar do na, mujhko maf kar do

goriyo maro na mujhko dukh jayegi ye najuk kalayi
kam hai ghar me tumhara chulha jalana karna dhulayi
aao galo ki iske kar de dhulayi de de ke tali
aisi rangat bana de jaise kano ki lali
ruko jara deviyo itna gussa na karo
ruko jara deviyo itna gussa na karo
kuchh tumse na magu bas jhumke wali ko
mere sath kar do
kar do na, mere sath kar do

meri sakhiyo bolo jara mukhda to kholo
meri sakhiyo bolo jara mukhda to kholo
iski chandiya saf kar do kar do
na chhapal juti thapad

Sisters, speak, unveil your faces,
Sisters, speak, unlock your grace.
Tell this madman, what sentence to mete,
Together, justice, let us meet.
I plead, hands clasped, leaving one aside,
I plead, hands clasped, one truth to confide.
Oh, my mothers, oh, my sisters dear,
Forgive me now, and banish fear.

See, let him not escape, embrace him tight,
Wrap him within your loving light.
He is simple, innocent, give him love's due,
Ah, what love? I know, I knew.
I see these things, I understand the way,
I too have eyes, in light of day.
Let us tousle his hair, and the tabla play,
Let the stars dance in his eyes, come what may.
Turn his day to night, oh, do it, now,
Turn his day to night, somehow.
I plead, hands clasped, one truth to confide,
I plead, hands clasped, leaving one aside.
Oh, my mothers, oh, my sisters dear,
Forgive me now, and banish fear.

Fair ones, strike me not, this tender wrist will break,
Your work is home, the hearth, the dishes you must make.
Come, let's wash his cheeks, with clapping hands' sound,
Give him a blush, like your ear's red ground.
Wait a moment, ladies, do not rage,
Wait a moment, ladies, on life’s stage.
I ask for nothing, but the one with the earrings bright,
Bring her with me, into the light.
Oh, do it, now, bring her close to me.

Sisters, speak, unveil your faces,
Sisters, speak, unlock your graces.
Cleanse his scalp, do it, now,
No slippers, shoes, nor slaps allow.
