saiya ji ne ghar banwaya saiya ji ne ghar banwaya
kaisa tang nigoda thik se andar bahar jane ko
rasta na choda ek taraf se mai aayi
ek taraf se mai aayi ek taraf se devar ji
darwajje me oye hoye darwaje me fas gaye dono
dhakkam dhakka hui gawa darwaje me fas gaye dono
dhakkam dhakka hui gawa darwaje me fas gaye dono
dhakkam dhakka hui gawa

darwaje ke nam pe rakhdi darwaje ke nam pe rakhdi
ik choti si khidki khidki darwaje ke nam pe rakhdi
ik choti si khidki aate jate thokar khau
aate jate thokar khau sas mujhe de jhidki jhidki
sas mujhe de jhidki sas mujhe de jhidki
sas sasur bhi jab bahar se aaye ghar ke andar ji
darwaje me oye hoye darwaje me fas gaye dono
dhum dhadaka hui gawa darwaje me fas gaye dono
dhum dhadaka hui gawa darwaje me fas gaye dono
dhum dhadaka hui gawa

ek subah ki bat suno ek subah ki bat suno
ek subah ki bat suno hum dono ko thi jaldi
is jaldi jaldi me mai bhi sath piya ke chal di
mujhko mandir jana tha mujhko mandir jana tha
unko jana tha daftar ji darwaje me haye haye
darwaje me fas gaye dono aankh matka hui gawa
darwaje me fas gaye dono aankh matka hui gawa
darwaje me fas gaye dono aankh matka hui gawa

soch ke jaane kya baabul ne bhej di meri doli
soch ke jaane kya baabul ne bhej di meri doli
is chote se aangan me kya khelu aankh micholi
ik din sapne me aaye rajender or jitender ji
darwajje me oye hoye darwajje me fas gye dono
mukkam mukka hui gawa darwajje me fas gye dono
mukkam mukka hui gawa darwajje me fas gye dono
dhakkam dhakka hui gawa

My Beloved built a house, my Beloved did,
A cramped, unkind dwelling, barely letting us pass.
No space left for passage, I entered from one side,
From one side I entered, and from the other, the brother-in-law.
In the doorway, oh, in the doorway, we both got stuck,
A push and a shove, alas, in the doorway we both got stuck,
A push and a shove, alas, in the doorway we both got stuck.

In the name of a door, they placed, in the name of a door, they placed,
A tiny window, in the name of a door they placed,
A tiny window, stumbling as I come and go,
Stumbling as I come and go, the mother-in-law scolds me, scolds me,
The mother-in-law scolds me.
Even when the in-laws return from outside, into the house,
In the doorway, oh, in the doorway, we both got stuck,
A ruckus erupted, alas, in the doorway we both got stuck,
A ruckus erupted, alas, in the doorway we both got stuck.

Listen to a morning tale, listen to a morning tale,
Listen to a morning tale, we both were in a hurry,
In this rush, I went along with my love.
I wanted to go to the temple, I wanted to go to the temple,
He wanted to go to the office, in the doorway, alas,
In the doorway, we both got stuck, a stare and a wink, alas,
In the doorway, we both got stuck, a stare and a wink, alas,
In the doorway, we both got stuck.

Wondering what, my father sent my palanquin,
Wondering what, my father sent my palanquin,
In this tiny courtyard, what game can I play, hide and seek?
One day in a dream came Rajender and Jitender,
In the doorway, oh, in the doorway, we both got stuck,
Fists flew, alas, in the doorway we both got stuck,
Fists flew, alas, in the doorway we both got stuck.
A push and a shove, alas.
