ladaki punjab di mauj chanab di
le ke angadayiyan pankhadi gulab di
oy tir kaman ho gayi, reshama jawan ho gayi
hoy tir kaman ho gayi, reshama jawan ho gayi
ladaki punjab di mauj chanab di
le ke angadayiyan pankhadi gulab di
oy tir kaman ho gayi, reshama jawan ho gayi
hoy tir kaman ho gayi, reshama jawan ho gayi

ho rab jhut na bulaye hay jhut na bulaye
pehale toh has hasake milati thi sab se
jab se bahar ayi bagon mein tab se
gujare woh dur se dare mulakat se
baton hi bat me chhoti hi bat se
wo ik dastan ho gayi, reshama jawan ho gayi
hoy tir kaman ho gayi, reshama jawan ho gayi

o rab jhut na bulaye tauba jhut na bulaye
nikali thi ghar se jane kis kam se
kisi ne pukar liya raste mein nam se
mil gayi ankh jo kisi manmit se
gusse mein ruthake maiye ke git se
oy thumari ki tan ho gayi, reshama jawan ho gayi
hoy tir kaman ho gayi, reshama jawan ho gayi

o rab jhut na bulaye, kabhi jhut na bulaye
yeh mausam bhi hai usaka deewana
rup ka ras yan hai sara jamana
anchal hawao ne joda saraka diya
kajal ghatao ne jara bikhara diya
oy rut beiman ho gayi, reshama jawan ho gayi
hoy tir kaman ho gayi, reshama jawan ho gayi
reshama jawan ho gayi, reshama jawan ho gayi
reshama jawan ho gayi, reshama jawan ho gayi

A Punjab girl, joy of Chenab's flow,
With yawns of life, like rose petals that grow.
Oh, she's an arrow, a bow she's become,
Reshma's now young, her new life has come.
Oh, she's an arrow, a bow she's become,
Reshma's now young, her new life has come.

Oh God, let truth not be a lie, no lie,
She used to laugh with all, passing by.
But since spring bloomed in gardens so fair,
She's walked far from where we meet and share.
In little words, in a whispered tale,
Reshma's grown now, her spirit's unveil.
Oh, she's an arrow, a bow she's become,
Reshma's now young, her new life has come.

Oh God, let truth not be a lie, no lie,
She left her home, for what reason why?
Someone called out, her name on the road,
Her eyes then met with a heart's abode.
In anger, she turned from the wine's sweet song,
A melody changed, where she now belonged.
Oh, she's an arrow, a bow she's become,
Reshma's now young, her new life has come.

Oh God, let truth not be, no lie at all,
This season too, has fallen in her thrall.
Her beauty's essence, the world's delight,
The winds have touched her, with all their might.
The kohl of clouds, a touch to her face,
The season betrays, at her youthful pace.
Oh, she's an arrow, a bow she's become,
Reshma's now young, her new life has come.
Reshma's now young, her new life has come.
Reshma's now young, her new life has come.
