ghunghata gira hain jara

The veil has fallen, lift it now, dear one, the veil has fallen.
Adorn my brow with a crimson dot,
For I appear a bride, make me one.
Adorn my brow.

In eyes, the night's dark kohl I'll trace,
And in the courtyard, a cool dawn I'll place.
In eyes, the night's dark kohl I'll trace,
And in the courtyard, a cool dawn I'll place.
And in the courtyard, a cool dawn I'll place.
Upon my feet, the henna's fire, ignite,
Adorn my brow with a crimson dot,
The veil has fallen.

No letter comes, no message sent,
At every sound, his coming is felt,
No letter comes, no message sent,
At every sound, his coming is felt.
At every sound, his coming is felt.
Let someone shake the false door's hinge,
Adorn my brow with a crimson dot,
For I appear a bride.
