Kaahe Ko Byahi Bides

From Umrao Jaan (1981)
Jagjit Kaur sings this traditional wedding song for the bride (perhaps from rural Uttar Pradesh). Sung during the wedding ceremony of a very young Amiran (aka Umrao Jaan).

Kaaheko byaahe bides are lakhiyaa baabul more
Kaaheko byaahe bides

Ham to baabul tore bele kii kaliyaan
Are ghar ghar maange hain jaa'en
Are lakhiyaa baabul more

Kaaheko byaahe bides are lakhiyaa baabul more
Kaaheko byaahe bides

Ham to baabul tore pinjiire kii chiriyaa
Aur kuu hu kuu kuu huku rone jaa'en
Are lakhiyaa baabul more

Kaaheko byaahe bides are lakhiyaa baabul more
Kaaheko byaahe bides

Mahalaa tale se Dolaa jo nikalaa
Are biiran men kaa'e pachhaar
Are lakhiyaa baabul more

Kaaheko byaahe bides are lakhiyaa baabul more
Kaaheko byaahe bides

Bhaiyaa ko diyo baabul mahala do mahala
Are ham ko diyo pardes
Are lakhiyaa baabul more

Kaaheko byaahe bides are lakhiyaa baabul more
