O baabul pyaare
O roye paayal kee chham cham
O siske saȧsȯ kee sargam
O nisdin tujhe pukaare man
Teree hee baahȯ mė bachpan beetaa
khiltee gayee zindagaanee
Aandhee aisee phir chalee
Ṭooṭee ḍaalee se kalee
Bina saavan ke ujaṛaa chaman
Kaise suhaagan bane ye abhaagan
kaun biṭhaaye ḍolee
Kaise aayegee baaraat,
kaise peele honge haath
Kaise beṭee banegee dulhan
Janaka ne kaise tyaag diyaa hai
apnee hee jaankee ko
Beṭee bhaṭke raahȯ mė
maataa ḍoobee aahȯ mė
Tarse tere daras ko nayana
O beloved father, my anklets cry and my breath is sobbing as I realize that you will not be in my life anymore.
My father, I spent my childhood playing in your arms as I grew. Then a storm brewed and this flower is broken from the branch. A garden is destroyed without a gardener and I fear my life will be lost without your directions.
Who is willing to marry an unlucky person? How will there be a wedding procession, how will this daughter get married?
It feels like the entire world has abandoned its daughter who is now lost in the new pathways. The mother is crying in parting and my eyes are longing to see you, my Father
