ye to nari yaha ki reet hai
tujhe dukh de jo tera meet hai
ye to nari yaha ki reet hai
tujhe dukh de jo tera meet hai
phir bhi usko hi tu pyar kare pyar kare
ye to nari yaha ki reet hai
tujhe dukh de jo tera meet hai

apna tan man or jiwan ye jisko arpan tu karti hai
mang me naam ke jiske tu wo sindur bharti hai
uske sukh ke liye marti hai marti hai
ye to nari yaha ki reet hai
tujhe dukh de jo tere meet hai

jane tu sabhi phir bhi chup rahe
man ke dukh nahi kisi ko tu kahe
haske dukh sabhi tu sahe tu sahe
ye to nari yaha ki reet hai
tujhe dukh de jo tera meet hai

tu to mamta ki murat hai pyar ki tu kahani hai
tujhse ghar baar sajta hai apne ghar ki tu rani hai
phir bhi aankho me to pani hai pani hai
ye to nari yaha ki reet hai

This is the way of women here,
To love the one who brings you fear.
This is the way of women here,
To love the one who brings you fear,
And still you offer love, love so dear.
This is the way of women here,
To love the one who brings you fear.

Your body, heart, and life you give,
To whom you pledge, that you might live.
In whose name the vermillion you weave,
For their happiness, you grieve, you grieve.
This is the way of women here,
To love the one who brings you fear.

Knowing all, you still hold your peace,
Your heart's pain you never release.
Smiling through, your suffering increase, increase.
This is the way of women here,
To love the one who brings you fear.

You are the form of tenderness,
A story of love, your happiness.
By you, the home is blessed, nonetheless,
Queen of your home, in deep distress,
Tears in your eyes, a hidden mess, mess.
This is the way of women here,
To love the one who brings you fear.
