binti suno mori ma ma
binti karat hu mai tori ma
binti karat hu binti karat hu
binti karat hu mai tori ma
tu shadi kara de shadi kara de
shadi kara de ma mori ma

agle phagan tak jo mujhko
nahi milegi biwi
to sanch kahu bhagwan kasam
mujhe ho jayegi t.b
chahe kani ho ya andhi ho
wo luli ho ya langdi ho
chahe gungi ho ya bahri ho
wo kali ho ya gori ma
tu shadi kara de shadi kara de
shadi kara de ma mori shadi shadi shadi
mori shadi shadi shadi o mori shadi shadi shadi
mori shadi shadi shadi shadi

jat pat ki fikar na karna jo kuch bhi ho naam
desh videsh kahi ki bhi ho
hume byah te kam punjaban ho bangalan ho
gujratan ho marwadan ho
madrasan ho marathan ho
madrasan ho marathan ho
wo kahi ki bhi ho chhori ma
tu shadi kara de shadi kara de
shadi kara de ma mori shadi shadi shadi
mori shadi shadi shadi o mori shadi shadi shadi
mori shadi shadi shadi shadi

Hear my plea, Mother, hear my plea,
Before you, I bow, Mother, to thee.
I implore, I implore with all my being,
I implore, Mother, your grace I am seeing.
Grant me marriage, arrange it, I pray,
Arrange marriage, Mother, without delay.

If by the next springtime, she’s not found for me,
My dear Mother, I swear, truthfully,
Consumption will claim me, a wasting disease.
Blind or one-eyed, if that’s how it please.
Lame, or crippled, whatever the plight,
Deaf or mute, dark or fair in the light,
Grant me marriage, arrange it, I pray,
Arrange marriage, Mother, without delay.
My wedding, my wedding, oh my wedding!
My wedding, my wedding, let my wedding be!

Don't let caste or creed bind your hand,
Let her name be what it may, from any land.
From any nation, near or afar,
A Punjabi, a Bengali, a shining star.
A Gujarati, a Marwari, her heart so true,
A Madrasi, a Marathi, in all we do.
Wherever she’s from, let it be understood,
Grant me marriage, arrange it, as you should.
My wedding, my wedding, oh my wedding!
My wedding, my wedding, let my wedding be!
