Lyrics –

Bada aukha hunda manauna dilbar nu
(It is really arduous to convince your beloved)

Jhanhjar nu hilona padta hai
(Anklets have to be tinkled)

Fir deed sajjan di mildi hai
(Then you get a glimpse of your loved one)

Pehla posh lahauna paina hai
(First you have to abdicate all worldly pleasures)

Kai naag ishaq de milde ne
(There are many obstacles in love)

Jad chaliye ishq di manzil nu
(When one treads the path of it)

Ghar baith ke deed bhi ho sakdi
(One might catch a sight of their beloved sitting at home)

Par dil nu samjhauna painda hai
(But the heart has to be convinced)

Akhir mehboob de dar utte mud mud ke auna painda hai
(Finally one must return to the place of one’s lover)

Bhave kanjri bann na pae jave
(Even if it requires them to give up their ego)

Nachaya tere ishq ne
(Your love makes me restless)

Chheti baudi be tabiba
(Please, quickly send for the doctor)

Nahi te main mar gayi aa
(Or I shall meet my end)

Tere ishq nachaya kar thaiya thaiya thaiya
(Your love has me dancing like crazy)

Ishq aap vi avalla idde kam vi avalle
(Love is beguiling and so are its deeds)

Jide pesh pai janda kakh chad da na palle
(Whoever it has engaged is left with nothing)

Kanjri baneya izzat na kahtdi
(Being dishonored like a courtesan has not decreased my self worth)

Mainu nach ke yaar manavan de
(Let me win over my dearest by dancing)

Jogi baitha bin bajava mere dil kamle nu chain naa ave
(The hermit plays his clarinet but my heart finds no solace)

Ae ishq ni dare maut kolo pave kanjri banna pae jave
(This love is not afraid of death even if it means demeaning oneself)

Ae ruthra yaar mana lainda
(It will persuade a sulking lover)

Pave kanjri banna pae jave
(Even if it comes at a cost of dishonoring oneself)

Main ishq ch kamli chali phira
(I have gone mad and crazy in love)

Nachaya tere ishq ne
(Your love has me restless and unsettled)
