the contest is on
Salman :
"Ae Dheel de , Dheel de de ray bhaiya" (x2)
Oh give looseness (dheel), looseness give me
(of the kite string ) brother (friend)
"us patang ko dheel day, jaise hi masti may aye"
give that kite (patang) some looseness , as soon
as it comes in close (masti)

men (pro Salman):
"tez, tez, tez hai, manjha apna tez hai"
sharp, sharp, sharp it is, our thread (manjha)
is sharp
"ungli kat sakti hai bapu, to patang kya cheez hai?"

Men (anti-Salman):
"aey lambe, Teri patang to gayi kam se, kaise kati, udi thi shaaan
se"

it's cut, how proudly it flew (showing off)
1st group of women (anti-Salman):

"Nazar sado ho unchi, sikhati hai patang, sikhati hai patang"
Their eyes should always be held high, teaches
the kite, teaches the kite
Salman fights again and wins the contest.
