jis ghar jaye swarg banaye
sato wachan ki laz nibhaye
nehar me tune bahut dukh hai jhele

saiya ke ghar me tu baharo se khele
tuti baji doli saji tuti baji doli saji

A veil adorned, a bindi bright,
On hands of pearl, henna's gentle light.
My daughter blooms, a bride so fair,
My daughter blooms, a bride to bear.
A bride she is, on this day bright,
My daughter blooms, in pure delight,
My daughter blooms, a radiant sight.

Where she goes, paradise will bloom,
Seven vows kept, dispelling gloom.
In her home, sorrow was your share,
In her home, pain beyond compare.
Now in his home, joy you’ll embrace,
The flute now plays, her palanquin in place.
Crimson of veil, a radiant grace,
My daughter blooms, a bride so fair,
My daughter blooms, a bride to bear.
A bride she is, on this day bright,
My daughter blooms, in pure delight,
My daughter blooms, a radiant sight.

Sister's finger, brother-in-law's ring,
The ring admired, joy it does bring.
What colors dance, what joy takes flight,
What colors dance, what joy and light.
Fate has joined, a perfect sight,
A couple united, fortune's opening wide.
She meets her love, side by side,
My sister blooms, a bride so bright,
My sister blooms, a bride of light.
A bride she is, on this day bright,
My sister blooms, in pure delight,
My sister blooms, a radiant sight.

Mother-in-law, tomato red,
Father-in-law, like a potato spread.
Call him a rogue, or a scoundrel's guise,
Call him a rogue, or a scoundrel's lies.
From your lips, sweet curses rise,
A tender bud, nurtured with care,
A tender bud, beyond compare.
Now she departs, to his home to fare,
My daughter blooms, a bride so fair,
My daughter blooms, a bride to bear.
A bride she is, on this day bright,
My daughter blooms, in pure delight,
My daughter blooms, a radiant sight.

The thief arrives, the thief arrives,
The truthful one, his word survives.
The liar's face, blackness contrives,
The thief arrives, the thief arrives,
The truthful one, his word survives.
The liar's face, blackness contrives.
