aao saheliyo aao saheliyo banni ko mehandi lagao
saheliyo banni ko mehandi lagao
mehandi ki raat suhani suhani re
mehandi ki raat suhani suhani re aaj ki raat pe wari
chand sa muhkda meri banni ka
chand sa muhkda meri banni ka
banni pe mai balihari banni pe mai balihari
jhilmil sab gao saheliyo banni ko mehandi lagao

aao saheliyo aao saheliyo banne ko mehandi lagao
banne ko mehandi lagao
pyar se gund ke mehandi saheliyo
pyar se gund ke mehandi saheliyo aaj banne ko lagaye
banna hai mera chail chabila
banna hai mera chail chabila
le lu banne ki balaye le lu banne ki balaye
geet khushi ke gao saheliyo banne ko mehandi lagao

dulhan bani hai aaj
dulhan bani hai saheli hamari
dulhan bani hai saheli hamari aaj dulhan bani
kaali julfo me taro ki ladiya sajaye
pyare mukhde ko
pyare mukhde ko sabnam ke pani se dhoye
aaj sasural jane ki hai tyari
aaj sasural jane ki hai tyari
dulhan bani hai aaj
dulhan bani hai saheli hamari
dulhan bani hai saheli hamari aaj dulhan bani

apni ulfat ka likhna fasana hame apni ulfat ka
apni ulfat ka likhna fasana hame
jake sasural bhul na jana hame
jake sasural bhul na jana hame
kaise bhulegi kaise bhulegi bholi si suraat tumhari
dulhan bani hai saheli hamari aaj dulhan bani

The night of henna, so lovely, so sweet,

The bride is made today,
Our friend is now a bride,
Our friend is now a bride, made a bride today.
In black tresses, strings of stars are adorned,
Upon her lovely face,
Upon her lovely face, washed with dewdrops' tears.
Today, the preparation for her journey to her new home,

The bride is made today,

How could she forget, how could she forget, your innocent face?
Our friend is now a bride, made a bride today.
