Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Hindi-Urdu lyrics:
jawaan ho yaa bu.Dhiyaaa,
WHETHER YOUNG OR OLD,
yaa nanneeh see gu.Diyaa,
OR BE IT A LITTLE DOLL,
kuchh bhee ho aurat zahar kee hai pu.Diyaa
WHATEVER, THE WOMAN’S A PACKET OF POISON!
jawaan ho yaa bu.Dhiyaaa,
WHETHER YOUNG OR OLD,

maare pistaul se naa kaaTe talwaar se,
KILLING NEITHER WITH A PISTOL NOR CARVING UP WITH A SWORD,
mard ko ghulaam yeh banaaye ba.De pyaar se,
SHE MAKES A SLAVE OF THE MAN WITH GROOVY CARESSES,
arre maare pistaul se naa kaaTe talwaar se,
KILLING NEITHER WITH A PISTOL NOR CARVING UP WITH A SWORD,
