saare shahar ke sharaabii ...

paniyaa bharane mai.n jaa_uu.n kaise

##Hey Ma'am! What the heck are they singing there?##
##Drunkards of whole city, Bombay, o sister-in-law!##
##are running after me.##

##Type of pearls and what diamonds.##
##I don't know, are hanging on my body.##

##Hello! Hello! What is it now?##
##Those who are elder than me are also##
##standing in line for me.##
