dhule raja dekh dulhaniya doli layi hai
dhule raja dekh dulhaniya doli layi hai
bend baza sath me arey git nahi bazao baza
bend baza sath me barat aayi hai
dhule raja dekh dulhaniya doli layi hai
bend baza sath me barat aayi hai arey
dhule raja dekh dulhaniya doli layi hai

mai hu kawari kanya mujhe ek mard ki jarurat hai
chal jaldi se ha kar de arey teri sakht jarurat hai
tere bacho ki amma banke mai tujhko bap bana dungi
do bache do hum dono mujhe
chhote kutab ki jarurat hai
aaj hai apni shadi arey aaj hai apni shadi
aur aaj sagayi hai dhule raja dekh
dulhaniya doli layi hai bend baza sath me
barat aayi hai arey dhule raja dekh
dulhaniya doli layi hai

bahar nikal ke aaja tere sar pe sehara sazaungi
phir doli me bithakar mai apne ghar le jaungi
tu doli me jayega mai ghode pe aaungi
angreji me kahte hai o hanimun
manaugi dekhu kaware chhore ko
dekhu kaware chhore ko saram aayi hai
dhule raja dekh dulhaniya doli layi hai
bend baza sath me barat aayi hai

The King of Hearts beholds his queen, a palanquin descends,
The King of Hearts beholds his queen, a palanquin descends,
No trumpets blare, no festive song, a muted choir of sound,
A wedding procession arrives, the company attends,
The King of Hearts beholds his queen, a palanquin descends,
A wedding procession arrives, the company attends,
The King of Hearts beholds his queen, a palanquin descends.

I am a maiden, untouched, a man my soul desires,
Hurry, say yes, I crave your presence, fueled by inner fires,
Becoming the mother of your children, I'll make you a father true,
We two shall become one, I crave a family's ties,
Today is our wedding, oh today is our wedding day,
Today our betrothal, The King of Hearts beholds,
His queen, a palanquin descends, a wedding procession attends,
Oh, The King of Hearts beholds his queen, a palanquin descends.

Come forth, I shall adorn your brow with a garland's grace,
Then in the palanquin I'll place you, to my home, my space,
You shall ride in the palanquin, I on horseback will appear,
In the language of the English, honeymoon we shall embrace,
I see the young bachelor, shame paints his face,
The King of Hearts beholds his queen, a palanquin descends,
A wedding procession arrives, the company attends.
