If you have gotten estranged with someone
grab someone else's skirt (resort to someone else)
There is wonder in the paths of life,
oh, there is a person alone, enemies in the hundreds of thousands
haaN baRe dhokhe haiN
baRe dhokhe haiN is raah meN
Yes, there are big cheaters,
there are big cheaters in this path.
baabuujii dhiire chalnaa
