hatho me mehandi rachai jayegi
mathe pe bindiya sajai jayegi
raja ki sehre se rani ke ghunghat ki
aaj raat jodi milai jayegi
hatho me mehandi rachai jayegi
mathe pe bindiya sajai jayegi
hatho me mehandi rachai jayegi
mathe pe bindiya sajai jayegi

ankhiyo me khel rahi aas milan ki
barso se aas thi jiya ko isi din ki
ankhiyo me khel rahi aas milan ki
barso se aas thi jiya ko isi din ki
minnate murad payi aayi wo ghadi aayi
doli dulhan ki uthai jayegi
hatho me mehandi rachai jayegi
mathe pe bindiya sajai jayegi
hatho me mehandi rachai jayegi
mathe pe bindiya sajai jayegi

phulo ki sej par sajna se mel hoga
socho jara gori kaisa pyar bhra khel hoga
phulo ki sej par sajna se mel hoga
socho jara gori kaisa pyar bhra khel hoga
jhumengi tan ki kaliya
mahkengi man ki galiya
najariya na piya se milai jayegi
hatho me mehandi rachai jayegi
mathe pe bindiya sajai jayegi
hatho me mehandi rachai jayegi
mathe pe bindiya sajai jayegi

Henna will bloom on hands tonight,
A crimson star on the forehead's light,
From the king's crown to the queen's veiled face,
Tonight, their destinies will embrace.
Henna will bloom on hands tonight,
A crimson star on the forehead's light,
Henna will bloom on hands tonight,
A crimson star on the forehead's light.

Hope of union dances in her eyes,
For years, the heart has yearned for this prize,

For years, the heart has yearned for this prize,
Prayers answered, desires fulfilled,
The wedding palanquin, now it is willed.

A crimson star on the forehead's light.

On a bed of flowers, with love's embrace,
Imagine, maiden, the tender grace,
On a bed of flowers, with love's embrace,
Imagine, maiden, the tender grace,
The body's blossoms will softly sway,
The heart's pathways will fill with the day,
Her gaze, from her beloved she'll keep,
Henna will bloom on hands tonight,
A crimson star on the forehead's light,
