Meaning

This couplet urges someone to roll bidis, specifically requesting them to roll five hundred bidis for twelve paisa.

Explanation

This couplet sounds like a repetitive street vendor's call or a folk song. "Beediyo vaalo" translates to "Roll bidis!". Bidis are small, hand-rolled tobacco cigarettes common in South Asia. The repeated phrase emphasizes the vendor's presence or the urgency of the task. The second line, "baar paisani paanchso lekhe," means "five hundred for twelve paisa." So, it's an offer to buy a large quantity of bidis (500) for a very low price (12 paisa), or an instruction to roll bidis at that rate. It beautifully captures a slice of daily life from an era when such calls were common, reflecting a simple, bygone economy and culture.
