Balam pichkari jo tune mujhe maari My beloved when You hit me with the water-gun To bole re zamana kharaabi ho gayi The world says that a problem has arisen now Mere angraaja jo tera rang laaga Oh my Emperor, when I got coloured in Your colour To seedhi saadhi chhori sharaabi ho gayi Then this simple and straightforward girl has become a drunkard
Itna mazaa kyun aa raha hai Why am I feeling so much jubilation (excitement/happiness) Tune hawaa main bhaang milaaya You've added bhaang in the breeze (Bhaang is an intoxicating substance, prepared from the leaves and flowers-buds of the female cannabis plant, smoked or consumed as a beverage in the Indian subcontinent) Dugna nasha kyun ho raha hai Why am I feeling double the amount of intoxication Aankhon se meetha tune khilaya You've made me eat sweetness from Your eyes (gaze)
Ho teri malmal ki kurti gulaabi ho gayi Your malmal (light in weight, smooth, and shiny fabric) top got coloured in pink Manchali chaal kaise nawaabi ho gayi Your venturesome/careless walk has become a royal one (full of pride)
Toh... Then Balam pichkari jo tune mujhe maari My beloved when You hit me with the water-gun To seedhi saadhi chhori sharaabi ho gayi Then this simple and straightforward girl has become a drunkard Haan jeans pehen ke jo tune mara thumka After wearing jeans, when You shook Your waist (danced) a little To lattu padosan ki bhaabhi ho gayi Then the sister-in-law of the neighbour took a fancy for You (became impressed/attracted/infatuated to You)

Teri kalaai hai, haanthon mein aayi hai Your wrists have come in my hands Maine maroda toh lagti malai hai When I twisted it, it felt as if it was (as soft as) cream Mehenga padega ye chaska malai ka This addiction of cream shall be expensive (troublesome) for You Upvaas karne mein teri bhalaai hai It's better for You to be fasting
Ho bindiya teri mehtaabi ho gayi Your decorative dot (on Your forehead) is shining like the moon Dil ke armaanon mein behisaabi ho gayi There are countless desires in my heart now

Hey (x4)
Ho... Kyun no vacany ki hoothon pe gaali hai Why is there an abuse of no vacancy on those lips Jab ke tere dil ka kamra to khaali hai While the room of Your heart is empty Mujhko pata hai re kya chahta hai tu I know what You want from me Boli bhajan teri, niyat qawwali hai Your talks are like the Bhajans, while Your intentions are like the Qawwali (Bhajans- chanting of verses done in praise of God; Qawwali- a form of Sufi devotional music which has deep hidden meaning) (meaning that talks are nice and simple, but the real intentions are crafty and unclear)
Zulmi yeh haazir jawabi ho gayi This quick answering has become a huge trouble for me Tu toh har taale ki aaj chaabi ho gayi You became the key for every lock today
