Electric piya, Electric piya My beloved is as thin as an electric wire O wire wire wire O wire wire wire My beloved is as thin as an electric wire My beloved is as thin as an electric wire
He comes home late The road is broken O road road road O road road road how difficult a path Bab sahib you have given, O leader of people, how much you damaged my condition My horse rider beloved is riding donkeys My beloved is getting tangled in the web of the spider
My beloved is loveless, luckless and messed up O messed up beloved, o messed up beloved, o messed up beloved
O my stormed mother, whom you married me to? O the one to live hundred years, what did you do? My beloved is slipping out of my handle. My beloved is falling into quick-sand.
