aaj hamare dil me ajab yeh uljhan hai
gane baithe gana, samne samdhan hai
ham kuchh aaj sunaye, yeh unaka bhee mann hai
gane baithe gana, samne samdhan hai

kano kee baliya, chand suraj lage
yeh banaras kee, saree khub saje
raj kee bat bataye, samdhijee ghayal hain
aaj bhee jab samdhan kee, khanakatee payal hai

hotho kee yeh hansee, aankho kee yeh haya
itanee masum toh, hotee hai bas duwa
raj kee bat bataye, samdhee khush kismat hain
laxmi hai samdhan jee, jinse ghar jannat hai

aaj hamare dil me ajab yeh uljhan hai
samne samdhi jee, ga rahee samdhan hai
hamko jo hai nibhana, woh najuk bandhan hai
samne samdhi jee, ga rahee samdhan hai

meree chhaya hai jo, aapke ghar chalee
sapna ban ke meree, palko me hai palee
raj kee bat bataye, yeh punjee jivan kee
shobha aaj se hai yeh, aapke aangan kee

A strange unease resides within my breast,
To sing a song, yet she, the mother-in-law, is guest.
To hear our voice, her heart desires the same,
To sing a song, while she ignites the flame.

Her earrings gleam, like sun and moon's embrace,
A Banarasi sari, grace upon her face.
A secret shared, the father-in-law's charmed,
By the echo of her anklets, softly warmed.

Her lips in smiles, her eyes with gentle shame,
Such innocence, a whispered, sacred name.
A secret told, the father blessed indeed,
For she, a goddess, makes his home a creed.

A strange unease resides within my breast,
The father-in-law watches, while she is blessed.
The tender bonds, that we must now entwine,
The father-in-law watches, as she sings divine.

My shadow's path, now leads into your space,
A dream she was, within my tear-stained face.
A secret shared, the treasure of my life,
Her beauty now, will bloom in your home's strife.
