HALVE CHALO - Original Lyrics by SAZ

A woman tells her lover how good-looking he is, but could he slow down?

She teases him, that he's rushing around almost lost in ‘work’

, while real life passes by

बोली प्यारी लागे रे थोरी सूरत प्यारी लागे रे बनोसा

बोली प्यारी लागे रे थोरी सूरत प्यारी लागे रे बनोसा

हड़्वे हड़्वे चालों थेतो,

मदरा मदरा चालो

थोरी सूरत प्यारी लागे रे बनोसा

हड़्वे हड़्वे चालों थेतो,

मदरा मदरा चालो

थोरी सूरत प्यारी लागे

बोली प्यारी लागे रे थोरी सूरत प्यारी लागे बोली प्यारी लागे रे थोरी सूरत प्यारी लागे रे हड़्वे हड़्वे चालों थेतो, मदरा मदरा चालो

थोरी सूरत प्यारी लागे

बागों में तो फ ू ल लगाया माली देवे पानी

बागों में तो फ ू ल लगाया माली देवे पानी

फ ू ल तो खिल तो जावे रे जॉबन भरी जवानी रे

हड़्वे हड़्वे चालों थेतो,
