ram dulari maike gayi ram dulari maike gayi
joru pyari maike gayi khatiya hamri khadi kar gayi ho rama
ram dulari maike gayi khatiya hamri khadi kar gayi

hamse bane na baigan ka bhurta
hamse bane na baigan ka bhurta
mirchi masale se bhajiya bada ghar ka
dal bhat khane ki rut naahi bhaiya
bhukha na mar jau o meri mayya
do din me tabiyat chaka chak bhai re bhaiya
ram dulari maike gayi khatiya hamri khadi kar gayi

hamri to tum hai hariday ki rani
tum bin lage hai adhuri jawani
hamri to tum hai hariday ki rani
tum bin lage hai adhuri jawani
sanjh sawere tohe dunga salami
sanjh sawere tohe dunga salami
are sari umar karu tori gulami
baiya padu gori vinti karu ho rama
ramdulari wapas chalo rajkumari wapas chalo

patni se pyari nahi koi nari patni bina dunia suni hai sari
mata pita bhai santan kachu naahi
patni bina yaro bhagwan kachu naahi
are patni ke aage bhaiya sab hi jhukat hai
patni bina din me tare dikhat hai
patni nahi to haye kuch bhi naahi
ramdulari wapas chalo rajkumari wapas chalo

Ram Dulari, to her home she has gone,
My beloved wife, to her kin has flown,
Leaving me, oh Rama, with an empty bed,
Ram Dulari, her absence deeply said.
My empty bed, a lonely, vacant space.

I cannot cook the roasted eggplant dish,
Nor the spiced fritters, a culinary wish.
No taste for lentils, nor rice for me,
Oh mother, lest starvation claim me.
My health declines, in just two days I see,
Ram Dulari, to her home she fled, leaving me.

You are the queen within my heart's domain,
Without you, my youth feels incomplete with pain.
You are the queen within my heart's domain,
Without you, my youth feels incomplete with pain.
Mornings and evenings, I would give you my grace,
Mornings and evenings, I would give you my grace.
My life, I'd give, in service, your place,
I beg of you, my love, a plea,
Ram Dulari, return to me.
My princess, return to me.

No woman dearer than my wife can be,
Without her, the whole world is empty for me.
Parents, siblings, children, all fade away,
Without my wife, oh friends, there is no day.
Before a wife, oh brothers, all will bow with glee,
Without a wife, the stars I see.
Without my wife, truly, I have nothing to hold,
Ram Dulari, return to me, I am cold.
My princess, return to me.
