The auspicious day arrives, behold, it graces my courtyard,
The auspicious day arrives, behold, it graces my courtyard,
My bangles chime, a melody of *khan-khan-khanan*,
The auspicious day arrives, behold, it graces my courtyard,
The auspicious day arrives...

Earth dances, heaven too, yesterday's dreams, all now true,
Earth dances, heaven too, earth dances, heaven too,
Yesterday's dreams, all now true, yesterday's dreams, all now true,
Blessed is the fate of Avadh's domain, blessed is the fate of Avadh's domain,
Today, Rama is crowned, today, Rama is crowned,
With the hues of the rainbow, let us paint the rangoli,
My bangles chime, a melody of *khan-khan-khanan*,
The auspicious day arrives, behold, it graces my courtyard,
The auspicious day arrives...

Drums beat, cymbals clang, the *jhanj* resounds,
Drums beat, cymbals clang, the *jhanj* resounds,
From three to four, overflowing with love, from three to four, overflowing with love,
Today, the hearts of all are filled, today, the hearts of all are filled,
In every particle of Avadh's city, exuberance I see,
My bangles chime, a melody of *khan-khan-khanan*,
The auspicious day arrives, behold, it graces my courtyard,
The auspicious day arrives...
